There's an intentionality to this book that is so beautiful. It takes a while for the story to unfold, but the pace felt appropriate. This book had a lot in common thematically with American Fiction the movie, and I would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoyed or appreciated that movie. The surrealist elements of this story unfold slowly, even though early on it's clear that the movie is in many ways a ghost story. These elements felt well-placed and didn't take away from the story overall. The ending was fascinating and I am genuinely not sure I understood what happened, I had to read it twice and it still wasn't clear what exactly happened. The cast of characters that surrounds the unnamed main character made the new environment in which the character found himself in very well-populated. Overall, I was a big fan of this book and really found it to be fascinating.
