Written in the sparsest of sparse language, this odd work of lit fic is probably meant for someone—but that someone ain't me.
On the surface, it should have worked. It's about a couple who've been together for many years, only now, the husband wants kids and the wife is't interested. It's about racism, featuring a predominantly Asian-American cast. It's also queer, as the FMC is bisexual and starts up (what is billed as, but I never got that far) a torrid affair with a ballet dancer she meets at a part. Add in some lines about "obsession" and "kink" and I was sold.
In the end, the prose is so stylistic that it was too strange for its own good.

"The first thing you need to know is the writing is highlyyyyyy stylized.
Second, it’s sparse af.
Third, I can’t say I’m enjoying it. Or fascinated. Or even morbidly curious."
