Hell of a way to be introduced to a new author, but I am so happy that I caught a random recommendation and then came across a collection in a charity shop the next day!

I truly don't know how to respond to this, but I absolutely loved it.

Such a bizarre, but brilliant approach to language and storytelling that feels like it's simultaneously drawing you in and keeping you at arm's length, which is gloriously disorientating and makes the end seemingly inevitable end remain a question and still have a horrifying impact.

Very excited to read more Proulx!
