I found the perverseness of this read to be enticing. The author establishes a unique writing style that is distinctive but also a bit monotone and prosaic at times. The book primarily deals with the affair between Frances and Nick and their growing affection for each other despite the romantic feelings they possess for others. The book has a very unambiguously political aesthetic, that of anarchist non-traditionalism... More to come in my upcoming review! See my profile for the link to my blog. For now, what I will say is that I wholly recommend this book. It was gripping throughout and articulated itself very well in terms of describing thoughts and emotions.
