I remember the names of authors, but not always the titles, and so it's not surprising that I bring home library books only to discover after reading a few pages that I've read it before. Not so with this book; it was so memorable that I remembered the whole story upon reading the first sentence. I can't recommend it highly enough. On the back cover, Katharine Anne Porter is quoted as saying "The story is the closest to perfection that I have ever read". I couldn't agree more.
Quite good but hard to read while for instance tired since it is so dense. Everything is almost stream of consciousness and a little difficult to parse. I like the ending. Endings are hard to do well.
