I could relate to some of the main character's early childhood depression and anxiety, maternal issues and fighting like hell to seem competent and fit into a work culture that's toxic and bad for you, but couldn't relate and was kind of annoyed by her constant drug use. A lot of the writing was absolutely heartbreaking and the use of surrealism and metaphor were very effective and visceral. Also, this was set in the SF Bay Area, so a lot of the places and corporate stuff was instantly recognizable to me. Generally kind of depressing, but I hope she was able to find more agency, peace, and freedom in the end. Maybe in the end the black hole was just the scary void of possibility when she chose for herself instead of giving in to the expectations of others and not an actual black hole or metaphor for giving in to depression/psychosis? I dunno. Made me want to buy pomegranate juice real bad once I finished it though. ( ) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

"A year into her dream job at a cutthroat Silicon Valley startup, Cassie finds herself trapped in a corporate nightmare. Between the long hours, toxic bosses, and unethical projects, she also struggles to reconcile the glittering promise of a city where obscene wealth lives alongside abject poverty. Ivy League grads complain about the snack selection from a conference room with a view of houseless people bathing in the bay. Startup burnouts leap into the paths of commuter trains and men literally set themselves on fire in the streets. Though isolated, Cassie is never alone. From her earliest memory, a miniature black hole has been her constant companion. It feeds on her depression and anxiety, its size changing in relation to her distress. The black hole watches, but it also waits. Its relentless pull draws Cassie ever-closer as the world around her unravels. When her CEO's demands cross an illegal threshold and she ends up unexpectedly pregnant, Cassie must decide whether the tempting fruits of Silicon Valley are really worth it. Sharp but vulnerable, funny yet unsettling, Ripe portrays one millennial woman's journey through our late-capitalist hellscape and offers a brilliantly incisive look at the absurdities of modern life"-- Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
