I loved it, I hated it. I wrote a 12-page essay on it, but I wouldn't ever read it again.

Valerie Solanas be like, "I'm going to become the Joker"

Actually, Stridsberg's novel/play reimagining of Solanas' life takes a look at the massive, tragic scope and rends it, but knows it can't make full sense of the scope of the many mysteries of her existence. I think it captures the emotional weight and incongruities and the posthumous influence of Solanas well, even if the structure got a bit repetitive over the 350 pages.

Mycket speciell bok. Jag tror inte att det är en slump att jag fick en livsinsikt och kom på vad jag vill göra i livet medan jag läste den här.

Too impressionistic and fragmented for me. I need more narrative than this. YMMV.
