For me, this was almost comically depressing. I kept thinking of that John Mulaney skit with the “God can’t hear you” joke. It didn’t rip my heart out the way I wanted it to, and that may have been why—I just wasn’t sucked in to the horror of the world. I applaud this for keeping my attention as well as it did—it was colorless and bleak and there is no plot. I could not figure out why I couldn’t put it down for long. I am in love with all of the dialogue, and I both love and hate the way this is written.
