The year of women in translation starting History a Mess this weekend. 💃📚

A young woman realizes she has spent eight years towards a dissertation founded on a mistake. What follows is a surrealist account of her unraveling life. This brief novel won‘t be for everyone, but I loved it.

I almost bailed on this one. I got to the end of the book and wasn‘t sure exactly what was going on. The book had a good premise - I do like literary fiction especially one that revolves around books. This one was a little too slow and confusing for me. I feel like I missed something important that would have explained everything.

This book completely eluded me. It starts with a woman who has discovered something in the archives that could change everything about art history but then her credibility starts to unravel. It turns at times surreal, where she seems to be experiencing things others are not (or is this mental illness?) ⤵�
