This is an odd, excessively clever and frustrating book. The meta plot juxtaposed with the grief-struck realism will appeal to many readers, though for me it distracted more often than I would’ve liked. It’s a solid read, though.

This is just an exceptional collection. Every single story is great, and thematically connected. Porter is one of our finest writers, and deserves a larger audience. ]]> ReadStatus9345618913 Wed, 23 Apr 2025 20:34:43 -0700 <![CDATA[Michael wants to read 'The Borrower']]> /review/show/7514116719 The Borrower by Rebecca Makkai Michael wants to read The Borrower by Rebecca Makkai
