Review of 'The Unconsoled' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

So, I can pick up this book at any point and enjoy it. But I can't seem to read it sequentially. I want to like it, and maybe at some other point in my life I would have. But today, now, I am setting it aside. I just can't bear it and I'm blaming Trump's presidency, which appears to be unfolding with a similar narrative structure. Maybe I'll pick this book back up after the man's been impeached.
