High key miserable to read but that is literally the point.
Reading it on a transatlantic flight was great because  I couldn’t escape it and also you can’t have crash anxiety when you’re actively longing for death

This book is disgusting. I have to get that out of the way immediately - it's gross and vile and disgusting. The prose is beautiful, particularly in the second half of the book and in the stretches where he describes the American landscape. I'm glad to have read it but I didn't feel good while reading it.
