heelturn2 's review for:
The Doloriad
by Missouri Williams
challenging
dark
mysterious
reflective
tense
Enjoyed the act of reading this but I don’t think I “liked” this book. I don’t think I will ever tell someone to read it. But it’s full of some very beautiful strange language. Very wretched subject matter and story - it’s not that I can’t abide incest, violence, ecological disaster, human cruelty, etc. in the books I read but rather that the whole situation described here seems totally abject, unescapable. Like that Claire Denis movie about prisoners lost in space. Also highly whack in its depiction of fat characters. Idk I liked this a lot more than most things I rate 3 stars though. If you like destitute little myths and fables pick this up I guess.
