*Read as part of my challenge to (attempt to) read all 100 of NYT's best books of the 21st century*

This book was readable, but it didn't feel as though much happened. It was mostly a reflection on a harsh life, with visceral analogies that sometimes grossed me out. The narration kept me listening.
