This one was really weird. Certainly not the best, but worth a read.

I’ve been trying to listen to this on audiobook but I cannot stand the narrator.

I almost put a caveat on my initial post - it's a very particular book with a very specific point of view. I think you'll either love it or really dislike it. There's a lot of violence. The bad guys are Bad Guys (without any nuance or lives outside of being bad people). But even with some flaws, it's a very good story.

Too bad about the narrator - I would think this would make a good audio book, but the two voices of the two main characters are so different and so distinct that I imagine it's hard to do them both justice.

+1 for this. I read it in 2020 and really loved it. Very moving.

Priestdaddy by Patricia Lockwood. Prose that is like poetry. Wild imagination.

Cloud Cuckoo Land, City of Girls, The Heart’s Invisible Furies, Hare with the Amber Eyes, The Shadow of the Wind.
