I've tried to pinpoint what didn't work for me about this book, and it seems to center on this: All the characters felt like vehicles for Smith to do something interesting formally or to explore "big ideas" like fundamentalism, but never flesh-and-blood people. That is, people you came to care about. There were so many moments when Smith could have chosen to explore how people relate to one another, and instead, she had them do something loud and quirky. I felt like behind most lines in this book was a big smirk. That said, the voice Smith has established is hugely original and very of-the times. I get why she's a giant of literary fiction. There was just something hollow at the center of this, and I forced myself to get through a lot of it. Ah well.
