A disorienting tale of lonliness

3 stars

Like the other works of hers that I've read, The Factory and Weasels in the Attic, Oyamada takes readers on a journey that begins in the world of the familiar and mundane and ends up in fantastical situations that you could never predict. In The Hole, a young woman and her husband move out of the city to a rural town, next door to his parent's home. In a claustrophobic, single-perspective narrative, we watch as the implications of this choice for the narrator unfold.
