pickI almost DNFed this one because it gets pretty weird in places, a little too abstract for me, especially some of the flights of imagery that don‘t ultimately mean anything. But it was worth pushing through for the third act and that poignant final line that sums up the whole character arc.
I also learned that…
CSeydel the author‘s father is a close associate of Charles Manson, which added a certain heft to her portrayal of the “maniac demagogue in the desert” character. I‘m still not sure I‘d recommend this to everyone, but I‘m glad I read it and I think it covers a lot of ground as a psychological study of a culture and a work of eco-fiction. 9mo
