GuiltyFeat | The Book of Goose by Yiyun Li - Book Review @GuiltyFeat | Uploaded March 2023 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
A new-to-me author who comes pre-praised by Salman Rushdie. Nothing terribly wrong with this book, other than it's too long at 350 pages, and not as good as Ferrante at telling the story of a weirdly symbiotic relationship between tween girls. There are a bunch more themes, but the felt mostly under-developed. Maybe it was authorial restraint, but I found it more like authorial somnambulance.
