There was an excerpt, back before this book even came out I think, in Tin House magazine or perhaps Granta, and I was intrigued even then. I’m about six chapters into it, and the novel – even more so than the excerpt I remember – has a ‘waking dream’ quality to it that I’m quite taken by. It’s not making a whole lot of sense or even moving particularly fast (again, a languid, dream-like pace – or rather a pace that dreams seem to have when you’re remembering them after you wake up … something like that), that I’ll admit I am digging.
