“As a reading experience, it’s pretty unusual. It’s highly interactive, and more than that, it’s a memoir that’s more interested in connecting readers to each other than it is in connecting readers to the author.
If for no other reason, you should check it out because there aren’t a lot of reading experiences that are different from the left to right, ordered text arranged chronologically. Which is weird, right?
I mean, you’ve got your Houses of Leaves, which is different. You’ve got your Ships of Theseus. There are a handful of books that do something a little different with the book as an object, that mess with the experience of reading a little bit, but not a whole hell of a lot of ’em are out there, and only a handful of those works.
This one works. It’s different. You’ll never read anything else like it. And I hope there will be more stuff like this in the future.”
