Ich tue mich oft schwer, was experimentelle Bücher angeht, aber das hier hat mir gut gefallen.

I don't know how to begin reckoning with this reading :D If you don't know anything about Francis Bacon as a person, I think you won't like this. If you don't know Francis Bacon at all, I think you won't understand it. I felt knowing about his life, the reception by his contemporaries, and his art itself tremendously helped with keeping up with the wild array of sentences that really don't try to convey a story, rather a state of mind. It is deeply fragmented and very much catches the disorientation, fading in and out of lucidity, desperation of dying. It is poetic and erratic and rather beautiful, if you ask me. The author reads the audiobook themselves and it was AMAZING!
