Finally having time to read the New Yorker review of Molly, I really urge people who refuse to read the book to read the review. Honestly, I learned a lot about the book from reading Schwartz's take. I'm still trying to figure out what the book is. Tweet added by blake butler @blakebutler

@blakebutler Honestly Blake Chapter 1 has been such a devastating read about the immediate minutes in the aftermath that I haven’t had the courage to keep on just yet.
