"The Lesser Bohemians," by Eimear McBride. McBride's second novel reprises her incredible stream-of-consciousness style. Eighteen-year-old Eily is new to London and drama school when she falls for an older man. What begins as a fling soon evolves into a headlong romance, one that stirs up demons. McBride bends syntax to bring the reader deep into the narrator's mind and body. The modernist novel lives! Best downed in one gulp.
