A funny book at first, a puzzling one in the interim, and brilliant by the end. I really had no idea what I was about to read when I started this book. It reminded me a bit of Maggie Nelson in terms of the criticism and theory involved from a personal POV (though of course, I Love Dick came first). That reminder was also strong during some of the more intellectual criticisms where I felt a bit lost. Overall, a strong and unique book...one in which is both fiction and non-fiction. Truly fascinating and though I don't have much in common with Kraus, I feel a kinship with her.
