- Abstract
- en_US A strange sideways-formatted book. From reading the first quarter or so, I have trouble finding a more specific literary category for it than reflective narrative. Two predilections stand out. First, the main character has a morbid preoccupation with his wife's death in childbirth while he was haying. Second, there is heavy reflective dwelling on natural and biological processes, including and especially dying, eating, and reproducing. Rotting, killing, husbandry, and the soul receive a great deal of attention. Digestion, for example, is a matter of many bacteria inside us breaking down the food before we break it down further.
