tsushima writes of a woman, koko. koko is strong, but she’s timid. koko defies all expectations, and she is predictable. koko is the most deeply complex woman i have followed in literature to date.
this novel took me months to read, and not even because i don’t like the style— tsushima’s stream of consciousness and ability to effortlessly jump from dream to reality, from past to present is god damn remarkable. it took me obnoxiously long to read this because it is so horribly depressing i literally could not bring myself to read more of it at times.
i see you, koko, you are valid.
