“The core of the novel is pessimistic. How could [it] be otherwise?” - glowing Vulture review
For what it’s worth, I come down on the pro-pessimism reviewer’s side. Maybe that’s partly because this fragmentary and largely plotless novel reminded me of my brief exploration of the alt-lit world. I did not enjoy the alt-lit world. No I did not.

Addendum: Lim seems to settle the question pretty clearly in an interview with the Chicago Review of Books: “during the years writing it, more and more I found myself increasingly in a state of despair and more and more focused on the horrible situation we seem unable to avoid.”
Sorry, New Yorker, sounds like Lim is pessimistic, alright. And I’m sorry to have not enjoyed a novel by an author of such sympathetic political impulses.… (altro)
