The heck did I just read?

In terms of readability, this book wasn't as hard to read as the other, dryer, documentary-like books BUT it was definitely harder to understand.

There's a kind of vague description the author uses to describe something so you're not sure if you've imagined the right thing or not.

There are so many layers of meaning too. Confusing switched of POV. No straight timeline.

Holy friggin heck. This book is the most disturbing, creepy thing to read. I'm like huddled by the brightest part of my living room.

>.<

I'm also pretty sure I'm understanding only like 30% of what's going on

I can see that I'll have to read an analysis or summary of this book or something because it. is. hecka. weird.

It reminds me of the writing style of magic realism, combining fantastical/mythical elemnts with realism... and I am not a fan of magic realism, but we shall see.

Book #4 of my Lit of BLM class.

This is a novel so it's running in a pretty different vein than my previous reads.

I've barely finished the foreword and I'm already kind of confused, so I hope I can understand the writing style/voice. *crossed fingers*
