    “I actually haven’t finished it yet. So far it’s quite provocative. I will update once I finish it.”

    “This is my favorite book of all time. It might be the best book ever written? It’s completely powerful and incredible and genius. I get chills just thinking about it.”

    “This is my favorite novel. It’s an unhappy and bleak examination of masculinity and male violence with post-apartheid South Africa as its backdrop. In someone else’s words, the book is “pitiless and errorless.” The prose is incredible, and the book has lived with me in the 17 years since I read it.”
