Outside of some really incredible sentences and musings, I found it difficult to follow (perhaps part of the point) as sentences weren't in any sort of chronological order and there was no context between one sentence to the next. Partway in there are some clear themes that emerge but I would have enjoyed it more as a narrative; honestly found it too easy to put down whenever because there was no plot keeping me engaged, and tough to pick back up for the same reason. Highlight for me is that the author is a fellow Torontonian and I liked some of the local references. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

The specific joys include many well-crafted and well-observed sentences, and the comedy of unexpected and unplanned juxtapositions created by the alphabet.
