I’m not sure what the hell I just read, but I will say it was lyrical, decadent and stunning. The writing was unbelievable.
I don’t know that I’d recommend the book on the merits of the writing alone, but if you do pick it up, approach it like an abstract painting. Squint a bit, look for the colours that aren’t necessarily on the canvas and keep an open mind.
