A fever dream. A stare-into-the-fire kind of vision quest. It's that kind of book. And yet the story felt thin. Perhaps because of its slim size. Read more like a novella. Usually I would be excited about a book like this. It has a unique structure: an ending revealed upfront and the story going back in time; a re-telling through a text-based game world evocatively called "Trace Italian." The melancholy burns. It has scorched out all the oxygen in the air.
