What occurred to me then as I crouched on the warehouse floor, my mouth full, was that living wasn't a matter of right or wrong or ethics or self-expression. There was no better way to live, or worse. It was all terrible, and you had to do it constantly.

The sentence-level writing is great, but the novel got more and more weird and abstract as it went on and I just didn’t get it. Too confusing to enjoy.
