There are a few beautiful turns of phrase and visuals, but mostly I was bored as shit Oof. I read this a year or so ago and I still think very sadly of that time. There are a few beautiful turns of phrase and visuals, but mostly I was bored as shit I skimmed it. The writing was frustrating and overwrought which made the characters weirdly empty, like shell people. I got a tension headache trying to constantly give this book the benefit of the doubt, but it’s just not as deep or insightful as it thinks it is. I don’t believe I’m missing anything by not reading every word. Well-written, but I had absolutely no patience for the self-involved Elyria.
We are in the company of a mind relentlessly interrogating itself, in the tradition of Beckett and now Eimear McBride, but with its own singular flavour. As the book opens, the reader is as lost in Elyria’s thoughts as she is herself: all she knows is that her present situation is unbearable, she is in need of a “small and manageable life”, and has for some reason fixated on the half-hearted offer of a spare room on the other side of the world from a poet she met at a party.
"The story of a young woman who takes a one-way flight to New Zealand, abruptly leaving her stable but unfulfilling life in Manhattan, hurtling herself into the unknown, testing fate by hitchhiking, tacitly being swept into the lives of strangers and sleeping in fields, forests or public parks"-- Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
