I really like the idea of having inter-generational relationships depicted with the grandparent road trip, but this is definitely a bit of escapism - they have all the money they need to do whatever they feel like doing in a given moment. ![]() Cassie is difficult to like, and Lana is not as realistic in her early chapters as she is in her later chapters - at first, even Lana's chapters seem as if we are seeing Lana from Cassie's - or some other fairly disapproving - point of view.

In some ways, it seems a response to Woolf. Assembly, like Woolf’s novel, is a book of interiority. The book is told from a first person narration and is similar to Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. In Natasha Brown’s short novel, Assembly, there is a literal plot-a financially successful woman who has just found out she has cancer must go to her boyfriend’s parents’ anniversary party-and also a metaphoric plot, one that circles around issues of class, social mobility, race and uncertainty, always uncertainty. ![]() 5/22/2023 0 Comments Infinity Bell by Devon Monk![]() But time itself is her enemy, and every second brings her one step closer to disaster.
