O Fallen Angel | 
pickHaving read a few other books of hers, I've been curious about this, her debut novel. I devoured this book in a couple sittings. Its bracing, vitriolic satire of American culture had its moments of dark humour, some almost as dark as & reminiscent of Lautreamont. The book possesses a bristling, clear-eyed anger. Like the best satires, it challenges its reader to see the world in a critical & new way. Compulsively readable & ultimately unsettling.
I‘m VERY Thankful!! Got this package from my #penpal @batsy all the way from MALAYSIA about a week ago!! Still a little sick sorry it took me so long to post. The notebook says “ Never Trust a Man That Doesn‘t Like Cats” I ABSOLUTELY LOVE EVERYTHING!! You‘re so sweet!! Thanks!! It really made my month!! I‘ll be sending you something soon!! 👍😊❤️❤️📚📚18 year old Nikie and all the other cats approve also!! 😻😻
pickI've never read anything like this before. It was really good and took me a few days to recover after reading it. Definitely my favorite kind of reading experience.
I bought this based on hearing about it on #allthebooks by @Liberty and @rebeccaschinsky and filed it away on my #tbr shelf. I picked up yesterday, not remembering what it's about, and it's wackadoodle. But in a good way.

I feel like I am finally mentally prepared tonight for the Zambreno. You have to face her books head on or she will take you out at the knees. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
pickThis is a caustic and hilarious and horrifying gut-punch of a satire. Definitely not for everyone, but I zipped through it. Kate Zambreno, I'm coming for your other novels!
