This is apparently my week for "what did I just read!?" books and, as always, Oyeyemi does not disappoint.
Everything about this book was carefully crafted and utterly bonkers. The fact that Oyeyemi manages to walk that tightrope the entire way across and, rather than fall off at the end, just swan dive into the weird is a testament to her writing skill. I really liked it and also really felt like I had no handle on it whatsoever.
There are writers I can only read by listening to and other writers I cannot listen to at all because I just can't follow whatever it is they are doing. By dint of experiment, I have discovered Oyeyemi is the latter. But oh what a ride.
