Hugo reading.
The interesting thing about Hurley is that you can FEEL her getting better as a writer because her books get weirder and more intricate as she goes along and, at the same time, they also get easier to follow.
What she does here with milsf and the war story is terrifyingly amazing and the visceral (and, well, it’s Hurley so viscera) descriptions sell you on the...not precisely reality of war, but the dissolution of the illusion of war built in other novels.
It’s a story about resistance, sorely needed when it was written and needed even more now.
