Review Roundup

Joanna Walsh's Vertigo has garnered praise for its innovative narrative and poetic prose, capturing the mundane with a surreal lens. Critics commend the introspective depth and emotional nuance. However, some readers find the fragmented storytelling challenging and less engaging. Overall, it’s cherished for its artistry but may not appeal to all.

Who should read this

Who Should Read Vertigo?

Readers who appreciate introspective, fragmented storytelling would enjoy Joanna Walsh's Vertigo. Fans of Rachel Cusk's Outline or Jenny Offill's Dept. of Speculation will find resonance in Walsh's exploration of daily life's disquiet and subtle emotional landscapes. Ideal for those who savor literary fiction with a modernist twist.
