This book is the epitome of no plot, just vibes. It feels so ethereal, like heat radiating off hot sands. A phantasmagoria you wade through, crashing into waves of metaphors and metaphysical themes, floating just like the medusas in this story. Nothing seems to be happening, and yet you are thoroughly entranced.
The writing is poetic, thought-provoking and lyrical - there were so many moments I sat in awe at the weaving of the extended metaphors into a wider context, and so many moments that clasped me by the throat.
I confess that I am often lost in all the dimensions of time, that the past sometimes feels nearer than the present and I often fear the future has already happened.
A magical book, one you have to sit and digest as you read to get the most out of.
She had catalogued over a billion words but she could not find words for how her own wishes for herself had been dispersed in the winds and storms of a world not arranged to her advantage.
