I utterly adored this. A lyrical exploration or grief through poetry and prose. Rather than being a traditional narrative story, this read like experiencing raw emotion, and tells the tale of the traumatised Wolf who is coming to terms with their incredible losses while channeling Mrs Death.
This is elegant and raw and life-affirming, although their are very powerful moments of suicide ideolation.
This is truly a book born from the sociological, environmental, economical and political trauma currently being experienced globally with heavy influences of Grenfell, and Rasict tragedies from recent years. It addresses anxiety and trauma but provides a route map through it. And it is endlessly quotable. If this doesn't get nominated for all the prizes and win at least half of them I will be shocked.
