I wasn't familiar with this book, but your description has intrigued me (and scared me a little, to be honest). I loved your initial reflection on the impulse to write or create when you see someone else's work; I think it's the best sign that a work has truly impacted you. I'm particularly struck by the mix you mention between poetic prose and grotesque scenes, or the way it feels like "a Reddit post that went too far." Thanks for the review!
