I’m glad I picked this up, put it down, and picked it back up the times I did. The narrator’s philosophical cutaways from the plot were puzzling, insightful, often funny, sometimes fucked up, and altogether rewarding in the novel’s goal of offering cogent observations on humanness and desire.

absolute garbage book. the word "unbearable" accurately describes this book. sexist narrator. sexist characters. you could feel the hatred towards women in the way that they were portrayed. especially compared to male characters, which were depicted in neutral tone of voice. disgusting scenes. LOTS of gaslighting, mental and sexual abuse, lack of consent etc.
