This was basically Infinite Jest light: A challenging read. Narrative without attribution. Frequent switches in technique. Reoccurring Jest-like topics of light, geography, philosophy of life. The thin story premise is a young girl in her 20’s seeks out her great-grandmother who is missing from her retirement home. Although that wasn’t really what it was about. It was about what is reality, what provides something meaning, tongue-in-cheek commentary on religion, etc. etc. etc. And no resolution at the end, of course. If you read this, you likely don’t pursue Infinite Jest, but if you read Infinite Jest first, this one will feel like a 5K run after training for a 10K. I admire this author’s creativity and effort which is so apparent throughout the book, especially when things start to connect in the second half of the novel. Could he master creativity and an easier reading experience?
