GliffGliff by Ali Smith
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A life of erasure, of rendering, of being rendered, of becoming glue--or the memory of wanting the glue that holds a life together.

This near future dystopia was written beautifully, excruciatingly. It was deeply disturbing even during all the funny, warm bits. But it was hard not for just that, but for the fact that we're all being slowly erased. One. Moment. At. A. Time.

If it doesn't disturb you, then nothing will.


Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews might be interested in reading my own SF, I'm going to be open to requests. Just direct message me in goodreads or email me on my site. I'd love to get some eyes on my novels.
