4.5/5

Adapted from my review on Goodreads.

Notes

  • writing is sublime. it has a sort of depth and richness that contemporary American literature lacks. I wonder what else I’ve been missing by only reading translated work
  • thematically rich. ideas of the false promise of the American dream, of money
  • excellent period piece
  • was a little too explicit in its messages. some more work on the part of the reader could be nice
  • book borrowed from Stephanie
