The Lobster Kings by Alexi Zentner
3.0
Pretty good read: lots of issues to discuss in a later review. (see full review here)
There were many things I didn't like about it though, the jumble of magical realism with an attempt at tough manly elements -- I just feel I've read books like this before that were done much better. If this was not published as "literary" it would fall in with all the many, many similar gothic suspense tales I've read by women which are not sold as "literary" even though they deliver the tropes of this kind of book better.
