It’s the story of its own long and improbable journey to publication, but also a meta, often meta-meta-meta (!!!), retelling that skewers everything from the publishing industry and celebrity culture to the strange pre-social media moment when things were changing faster than they could be recorded. Reading it felt nostalgic for an era that somehow feels much farther away than it should. Maybe because it was formative for me (politically and personally), during those early 2000s years when communication suddenly became faster and easier, but not yet as instant and omnipresent and overwhelming as it is today in the era of total documentation. Your Name Here is also hilarious, strange, and smart. It pushes the boundaries of how to tell a story. More than anything, it reminded me that reading is supposed to be fun, and that sometimes the best thing you can do is stop trying to figure out where a book is going and just follow it there.
