Breakneck by Jacob Home, Nelly Arcan

lifeinpoetry's review

4.0

I'm attracted to the monstrous feminine in Arcan's writing. The complete and utter debasement, self-hatred, and destruction/self-destruction appeal to an uglier self, a self with unchecked rage.

I was put off by some brief offhand casual racism in some dialogue that is off putting though these are terrible people destroying themselves and one another.

Kept thinking of her as Strindberg for Quebec.
