A review by bleary
Ducks, Newburyport by Lucy Ellmann

I had to admit defeat after 250 pages of this behemoth. It's not that I didn't like it - quite the opposite, I think it's brilliant and artful. But the format demands that you devour its 1000 pages in as short a time as possible, ideally in a single sitting but probably no longer than a week. I might tackle it again the next time I have the flu or something.
