3.5
Deeply unsettling and ethically challenging book. Reaching for the greatness of LeGuin or Nabokov and coming up instead with something closer to an intense conversation with a weird friend late at night after too many drinks. Glad to have read but uncertain how to feel - even harder to know if that uncertainty was the author’s objective or a sign of them simply having lost the plot a bit.
