I did. Like this but I think it would have been better if I had read it in fewer sittings / less when I was tired bc I think her writing needs a lot of energy. But really interestingly written and intriguing

Too experimental for me to ever get into. All the characters are allegorical, and so kind of impossible for me to care about , which made reading this book feel like a chore.
