My goodness. Some sections are so long. Would editing more out have changed the piece?
Some really beautiful lines. “Time folded in on itself, as it does when one works alone”
I hope no one in our book club was recently touched by death because this character is obsessed with death.

Is any of this stream of consciousness writing? Not exactly but the topics feel not really connected except by thoughts in her head.

First 5% is like a Coen Brothers fever dream and it felt hard for me to get my footing. Once you make it to 10% I felt a little bit more solidly rooted in the story.

Interesting how she said, “I managed to not go mad,” either in jail or perhaps it was solitary. She read the books imprinted on her mind.
