Finished “I Cheerfully Refuse” by Leif Enger & LOVED it. It’s so many things, but at its core, it’s a dystopian novel, dealing with grief, loss, and yet hope.
Enger’s prose, like all really compelling art, deals in the dynamics of contrast, the necessary tempo, an awareness of when restraint is required, and the occasional flourish. I found myself rereading certain passages because they were written so beautifully, so unexpectedly, so perfectly.
5/5 stars
