unsquare reviewed An Invisible Sign of My Own by Aimee Bender
Review of 'An Invisible Sign of My Own' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I read this at the same time I listened to The Bell Jar, and they felt cut from similar thematic cloth, even though this wasn’t nearly as harrowing as The Bell Jar and was also surreal and magically realist instead of a lightly fictionalized memoir. It’s mostly just that both books are about young women struggling with depression and having a hard time dealing with adulthood and modern life. This one had a happy ending if only because the author is still alive.
