Thank you, Owen! I'm not surprised by the mixed reactions, to be honest. It's not the kind of book that's going to have a wide audience, and I think the book makes more sense when compared to other books like it, so readers can see it's working in a tradition (even if they don't like that tradition). It's also not her best book and not really typical -- they might like her other books better.

I'm curious what the book club will make of it!
Just picked up the same Murnane book for the same reasons! Enjoyed your post, as always.
I've heard a bunch of Murnane chatter on Twitter lately -- maybe we should read it soon!
