A review by carokfulf
The Actual Star by Monica Byrne
4.0
ambitious, beautiful, rigorous
A bit overlong and scattered between the three timelines, but an admirable work nonetheless, from the language to the political thought to the sex scenes. Characterization isn’t terribly deep, but this is mostly a novel of ideas and metaphysics, to be savored alongside the more libidinal pleasures.
