Synopsis: A female artist writes about her life as the last person on earth.Reasons why I stopped reading this book halfway through (and then skipped to the end.)
1.Interesting ideas, which is essential for me as a reader, but the language style was tedious. Even an intentional tedium is still tedious.
2. Male author speaking as a female. This often works, however the way the narrator speaks about her menstruation sounded like a man trying to sound like a woman and that "willing suspension of disbelief" got suspended right there.
3. Also halfway, I realized the narrator sounded exactly like me and I spend enough time in my own head; I want some relief.
4. It would have been nice if some resolution or growth occurred somewhere--I guess I'm a traditionalist after all.
