booknerdxo88's review against another edition

I was listening to the audiobook, and I found myself lost and confused. I also found the throat singing to be a little off putting. I wasn’t expecting it while listening to this book.

• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

My most succinct reason for disliking this is just that it's not for me. I very much enjoyed the surrealism of the plot, but so much of the book was overshadowed by sections upon sections of what seemed to me to be trite quips trying very hard to be profound and quotable through vague generality. The sections and poems with genuine heart shone through besides, but I couldn't get past the writing, and although a goal of this book seems to be challenging notions of what is natural and sitting with that discomfort, I personally could not get past the recurring upsetting sexual imagery and motifs.

A few depictions and mentions of, albeit in dreams and myth, bestiality.

Dark and disturbing. Poignant and engulfing. Highly recommend the audiobook version - it is read by the author and includes vocalizations and gives an added layer of depth. See content warnings.
