Ikwezi reviewed Dept. of Speculation by Jenny Offill
Review of 'Dept. of Speculation' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
The reader appreciated the clipped, mixed-media-ish prose but did not like how it allowed the story to elide over important plot developments and simply jump from the protagonist's feelings about one situation to her feelings about another, with little connective tissue between the two. Plus the use of third-person pronouns for all characters including the POV narrator took some getting used-to.
