Welcome to Litsy!

Cerebral and poignant, and written in a clinical style, this novel deals with death and dying, friendships, breakups, and how stressors impact people as a society. Though it drags at parts, I got a lot out of this. It doesn‘t push any particular ideology, but floats in this hazy, static gray area.

“It‘s funny how time works. We‘re all worried about our lives being dramatically shortened, but in the meanwhile we just wait, playing video games.”

*Side note—I found this novel randomly at the bookstore, as I tend to do, and let me tell you, it is so good. Such a uniquely cerebral page turner.
