Quite circling and dense all around topics of grief and regret. Took me forever to read. It definitely captured the mundane monotony of stream of consciousness real life but I can’t say in an entertaining way. Long passages where I had no idea what I was reading. The dog story however was phenomenal and it felt like I was truly in the mind of another creature.
"In an average life lived by a relatively average soul, what else remains but singular moments of astonishingly framed light?"
