The first time I read this book, I found it mindblowingly beautiful and haunting.
Rereading it today for the third time shows me two things :
- some passages are still as mindblowingly beautiful
- the rest can be pretty strange and uncanny, almost too weird for my taste now??? Maybe the end parts helped me cope with some of my own trauma then, idk.
But still much impressed with the genderless narrator fit and the raw sensualism.
