I liked this one a lot better the second time around. I’m wondering why Delaney has such an invested interest in us being and remaining confused—it’s a major part of the novel, down to the style of consistently interrupted sentences. I’m also curious about how to read the war, which happens nearly entirely in the background of the novel, and is no real concern to Bron. It’s funny in its absurdity, and its total commitment to the bit. The lack of self awareness Bron has is stunning. Lots to unpack here lolll
