I'm 50% into My year of rest and relaxation and the question is: when does this book get provoking/disturbing/interesting/the vehicle of at least a single original or inspired aesthetic effect
#i suppose this author gets more disturbing in her later books? but is there anything about /this/ book that is at all beyond commonplace?#beside the insipid execution -- everything about body image falls short of convincing me it is intended as irony and instead paints an#uncomfortably persistent image of the author as a truly pathetic person -- not a feeling i enjoy at all in any media form#normally a boring book can't affect me -- in this case i'm having such a hard time connecting this author's fame with the actual work#like prose-wise structure-wise image-wise there is nothing here that i can see... A matter of taste for sure. Truly I can't reach it#dr tuttle the only character in this book worth anything to my reader experience. save me dr tuttle#inane post#reading
