An offbeat & humorous vignette autofiction about a writer and her paranoid family, LOM explores coming-of-age in a family that bends truth and distorts memories. How does one form an identity when stories aren't told? How does one reconcile with the past with mutating memories? I enjoyed this funny story that reminds me of GRETA & VALDIN (Rebecca K. Reilly) with more chaos. While I didn't always get what LOM is trying to convey, I appreciate this novel that explores the divide between generations and all that's lost in translation between readers and writers.
