This...this is art.
Let me get my one misgiving out of the way: I didn't understand the entirety of the plot.
That said: this book is worthy of hanging in a museum. Wonderful writing, powerful storytelling, deep research, and intensely impactful. So many times I found myself questioning what this book was about, but forgetting to care because the writing was absolutely exceptional and the research that was presented was so well done.
Dark, powerful, inventive. This was such a surprise for me and I'm so glad I got to experience this book.
