Animal by Lisa Taddeo
3.0
earlier i compared this book to "promising young woman" and i feel very sorry because that's very hurtful and low and animal does not deserve that. animal introduces another grotesque female character into the lovely universe of "unlikeable" women-Joan! joan is very weird! and offputting! taddeo's prose is impeccable at times (she got me). yet i felt that the phrase "i am depraved" was overused and it eventually became annoying. we get it. we can tell. it has been quite a bit since i finished this and i can only recall glimpses of this book, which is pretty sad but also means that this wasn't a book that my brain demanded remembrance of.
it was better than promising young woman. much better. maybe that's something.
