An experimental, insightful, and memorable novel! I'm new to the world of Michael Clune, but this was certainly a good introduction. In the first half of the novel, I was starkly reminded of what it felt like to be a teenager discovering anxiety. The second half of the novel felt like it lost its point a little, but maybe I wasn't simply connecting as well with the surrealism. I would've liked to know more about the interiority of the secondary character's lives as they eventually fell flat, and what became of the main character. Overall, though, I'll be recommending this to those who like surrealist, magical realism, and/or reflective coming of age novels.
