Got it and finished it today. Weeping. Gifted it to a friend

Hi George. How's your mother doing lately?

It was good. I had fun with it, but I doubt I'll ever go back to it again. There are a few things I didn't like.
Did anyone like how it ended with that black guy riding with Lincoln? I didn't.
I also didn't like after Willie proofed into firelightwhatever there was a chapter of him flying around and shit.

How do his short stories compare to this? Better or worse?

I've read Pastoralia, didnt impress me much except for a few stories that I enjoyed, then again that is supposedly not his best work.

more ambitious, sure. similar levels of enjoyment (very little). his stories are just like.."fine," just barely experimental but never thought provoking. he's getting a lot of exposure with this novel, which is good because he gets approval by Famous Authors who are way better than him–and who deserve more attention than his silly shit. Tenth of December was awful but it was a major success somehow? I feel like the lit crowd is just "pushing" him on us

The marketing campaign for this fucking thing is getting blatant.

Either they're actual shills or just useful idiots. The same thing happened with The Nix.

I don't think enough anons read this for discussion to happen.
There are probably 3 people and I'm one of them.
