The Hearing Test by Eliza Barry Callahan

reflective medium-paced

3.0

Really beautiful writing but otherwise a very one-note novel. I like stream of consciousness, meandery stories that are just kind of people experiencing life, but something about this felt a bit hollow. To be fair, this is a book about silence and absence and emptiness, so to a certain extent a hollow experience makes sense, but other than some poignant lines it was a listless reading experience.
