To van den Berg’s credit, the novel doesn’t provide easy answers to these or really any of its questions surrounding intrapersonal relationships, conception of the self, or art’s warped mirror to reality. Which isn’t to say that her writing is unsatisfying or evasive, but rather that it operates according to the dream—or nightmare—logic of, say, the best David Lynch movies.\
