Why Did I Ever

by Mary Robison

is an incredible

novel in fragments

or novel in interruptions

or novel in distractions.

Funny and energized

and packed with

such a unique

zero fucks given

voice.

Grinding teeth

and blurted speech.

I felt like

I was on

amphetamines

the entire time.

Here’s an A+

excerpt:

“It isn’t anything but as I’m writing my notes for tomorrow I fill up a page and don’t turn to a new page. I just press down hard with my pen and write over top of what I’ve already written. I’m going to kick that fucking TV into the road.”
