A darkly humorous exploration of how personal trauma and societal norms can entrap individuals, leading to a distorted sense of self and morality. Eileen's life is a cocktail of internalized oppression, self loathing, societal expectations, the quest for liberation (or maybe just peace with oneself?) shaken not stirred. I like how physicality is entangled with emotional turmoil and they both keep feeding out of each other.

I don't know, I just love a disgusting and unreliable narrator and I'm in my self loathing mentally ill era so it was good but this meeting could have been a novella.

I am not sure I like it but I'm obsessed with it I can't not stop thinking about it. I wish it had more of a Saltburn edge though.

Like when you wake up from a beautiful and weird dream and you only remember splashes of paint, impressions, sensations.

As a teacher I don't feel comfortable stating my opinion

Beautiful but it lacks the complexity of Circe
