Remember when a girl's fucking weirdo dad moved into the dorms at Sarah Lawrence and started a cult? This guy wrote a disturbing, poignant, and beautiful memoir about it.

debut novel from the author of âA Little Lifeâ, this book is written from the perspective of an obnoxious, morally questionable, but undeniably brilliant doctor/scientist who goes to a small island to study a society in which the inhabitants have discovered a form of immortalityâ with the drawback that the body is preserved while the mind continues to age and deteriorate, making them perhaps more animal than human. iâm halfway through and the book is grotesquely detailed and multilayeredâ we are introduced to the âauthorâ of the memoir first by the announcement of his imprisonment for abusing one or some of his 43 adopted children from the island that he studied. the writing is so creative and the premise is so insane, iâm excited to see where it goes!

Itâs about a guy finding a manuscript about a documentary that might not exist, about a house that shouldnât exist, all wrapped in layers of footnotes, hidden messages, and pure existential dread. If you like books that mess with your headâliterally and figurativelyâread this.

i read this first the summer between highschool and college and it changed something for me. it's made up of little snippets into the lives of people, sometimes not all the loose ends were tied up but it felt real. it was reflective and I've passed it along to my younger cousins as they navigate the worlds of dating and sex and others perceptions of their personal lives. the reviews are absolutely polarizing but if you're willing to read that doesnt directly tell you how to feel but makes you linger with the emotions that come up this one might be for you
