This book completely blew me away. It's a many-layered, metaphysical (and real-life) drama that you'll appreciate more if you are familiar with existential dread and the works of Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus. At its center is an exploration of what the ultimate unbearable horror might be and what it is that we'd rather die than come to know.

The surface story concerns art and money, parenthood, sexual fluidity, fear and depravity, as well as some police details, but it's the other level that captivated me so much and that is driving me to read more of WIlson's work.
