3.5 or 4 The scope of the book is remarkable - a real achievement. By the end of it, I understand and feel that I have witnessed a change of world. But this sweep also means that some of the character arcs that interested me most didn't get developed ...more |

| Mary Gaitskills prose - often sentence by sentence - goes to completely unpredictable places. I feel like I'm getting the raw and full human experience, like she writes things (and about things) other writers are too polite to say. ...more | |
