Prophet Song

Wow. 

It took me a minute to sink into the third person present PoV and the lack of paragraphs and dialogue marks and the certain Irishness of the prose. And then ... suddenly ... I found myself swept away by this fevered dream of a mother struggling to scrape out a bit of sanity in an insane and tragic world, mama-bearing her way through as best she can.

Wow.

You have never read a story like this and will never again. I highly, highly recommend this. 

Wow. 

...

Oh, by the way, this won the Booker Prize in 2023.
