The Paper Wasp: A Novel

This is a hard one to rate beacuse it's just so, so utterly weird. It's strangeness creeps in from the onset, and the brashness at which the narrator displays all her dark, cloying, sick thoughts is alarming. The writing is lyrical without being over the top, and it kept my interest- especially once I hit the 1/3 mark.

The whole thing feels like the kind of dream you wake up from and question what perverse sort of conciousness you experienced. Which, given the themes here, makes perfect sense.
