Our Ecstatic Days by Steve Erickson

3.0

A woman rows to the center of a mysterious lake which envelopes Los Angeles and leaves her child behind in a gondola. Or does she? Is she a woman? What woman is she? Does she also have a daughter? Is her son God? Is the father of her son a hero? Does this book have a point? No. No it does not. Save yourself from this pointless, maddening (yet compelling enough to finish) book.
