I love books that mess around with structure and with readers' expectations. I didn't know anything going into it, and I enjoyed it so much. This book has a point of view that it really artfully imparts to the reader. If you've seen the movie Synecdoche, New York, this book has a similar vibe - life's a stage - but with a much more approachable thesis. Highly recommend for just about any kind of reader - especially if you're into experimental storytelling, looking for stories about families or about race in America.
