Now I want to read this. I'm a masochist.

See, I told you, it's a stupidly overdrawn book. Now imagine forcing yourself to slog through 400 pages before tapping out...

It was so highly anticipated that Hallberg received a $2 million advance for it, his debut novel.

About that...turns out that apparently such seven-figure advances were becoming more and more commonplace at the time that he wrote/released this. That in turn makes me wonder if maybe it wasn't actually as "highly anticipated" as that would suggest? IDK.

The Rise of the Seven-Figure Advance (article is from 2014)
