Molly McGhee: Jonathan Abernathy You Are Kind (Hardcover, 2023, Astra Publishing House) 5 stars

“A scathing critique of capitalism that holds onto the humanity of its characters.” —Laura Zornosa, …

Stumbling through the world

5 stars

Like some reviews say, this novel is a scathing rebuke of the capitalist system, but that's not what it's about. It's about finding one's place in the world. It explores this using dreams and literally walking into them. But what's different is that McGhee uses a protagonist that has zero emotional awareness to explore the self.

It is super interesting to watch the protagonist flounder around his life. And with these disparate elements McGhee's brought together, I can say she's totally successful to the point of endearment.
