I’m sure there is a larger meaning here and literary merit to be found, but that was not apparent to ~me~

A disturbing read! There isn't much of a story, but rather a feeling that worsens as you continue to read. The author's note at the end brings some of the scenes into perspective, which leaves you reflecting on the novel's message and the traumas that informed the author.

Read this to understand why Bjork exalted it so much. I don’t think I appreciated it as much as she did.
