JCO: My Sister, My Love

I think this is the first book that has ever intimidated me – even before the many reviews and before I've given the first few pages a shot.   I've had the advance reading copy on my desk for weeks, and the hard copy for days, and all I can manage is to crack it open and glance at a few words here and there. 

 

Perhaps it's the style I'm not accustomed to...novella in a novel, footnotes, interviews, font changes, post-it-notes.  I think it is brilliant, and this adds to my intimidation.  Will I be able to get everything out of it?  Will I completely understand it?  Is it above me?

 

I've snatched up everything by JCO in the past and haven't felt this feeling before. 

 

 So, I look forward to discussing the latest with you all, and I'll make an attempt to overcome my fears tonight.

 

Am I alone when it comes to confronting the work of an artist like her, or is it just me?
