Just beautiful. So so so beautiful. It could be read more quickly but I found it was worth lingering on passages in the same way you do with poetry. And this book has been compared to poetry before, for which I can understand why. Wilson captures the experience of living in a way I have never seen done before. I am blown away as a result.
