Hope reviewed Mr. Fox by Helen Oyeyemi
Review of 'Mr. Fox' on 'GoodReads'
4 stars
I was cleaning a carpet at work today listening to Lana Del Ray when I realized that Mr. Fox reminds me so much of the men in Del Ray's music except with 100% more character and flesh and. ... This was a super seductive and charming and ethereal book. I gave up trying to sort out exactly which was 'real' and which was fiction half way through (something I often struggle with) and my experience of the story went up a lot after that ... this is such a modern day fairytale. Oyeyemi is so so good at blending time and all signifiers of such things ... so that you feel like your drifting in and out of different eras in a single passage. Super eager to read Boy Snow Bird by her next.
