1.0

Some authors express their ideas through the play of characters and events. Heti bravely eschews most of the trappings that typically make a "novel" in favor of beautifully worded grandiose statements of fact about the nature of reality. Really not my jam, I was reminded most of what it was like to sit with a friend in hyper-mania: unreachable, absurd, and vaguely judgey.
