I'm afraid I can't contribute to discussion of the book Aquarium by David Vann despite having read it; I feel giving my honest opinion of the work may detract from my ability to use it as a meme in the lit thread

Tbh when I read this book about a year ago I thought it was really good and it definitely brought about a strong emotional reaction from me however now that the book has matured in my mind im not so sure. While vann's writing definitely has technical merit, I feel the emotional response to the book, while strong, is fairly shallow and obvious. It is a well written book that struggles to crawl out from under the weight of its own gimmick imo

I agree with what most people are saying wrt this book, it's quite a good book and it handles its subject matter exceedingly well but ultimately I feel it's impact amounts to a slap in the face. It's painful but then again of course it is - what did you expect?
