Sufficiently vague so as to allow reader to impose their own framework. Metaphorical. Catherine Lacey is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. Compared to Biography of X, I found Pew to be a rather simple and straightforward story that says an awful lot without saying too much. The only reason I did not give this book 5 stars is because while I generally always welcome an ambiguous ending, I'm not entirely sure how much I loved the way this one was written. Regardless, I found this to be a really great piece of speculative fiction with suburb writing that I will likely return to in the future. wow.. Pew is an easy read on the surface, but harder to figure out the mystery. this book was mystique and odd and eerie and brilliant. i've been sittng on this book for a while and i can't stop thinking about it. who is Pew? where did they come from? did Pew really have no past memory or were they just being silent? why did Pew show up in that town? in that church? Pew was questioned and evaluated by the whole town. people tried art therapy, mental health, questioning, and religious inquiry... they were put through the ringer. reading this book brought up so my thoughts.. greed, love, God are things children know about, but how do they know these things different from adults. Pew pushed the boundaries of comfortableness with their "thoughts-of-nothingness" “Pew listened to others, but did not listen at the same time”. by the end of the book i was left thinking a lot about the spiritual universe. i found this book to be an opening to a path to understanding and healing ourselves and finding peace. i can’t say i fully comprehended all that Catherine Lacey wrote.. not even sure we are supposed to, but her sentences and reflective dialogue were powerful sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"Una persona llega a un pequeno pueblo de Estados Unidos. Las gentes del lugar la encuentran durmiendo en un banco de la iglesia, donde se ha refugiado durante la noche. Es imposible discernir su raza, su edad o su sexo y, aunque entiendo el idioma en el que la hablan, se niega a pronunciar palabra o a contar su historia. La comunidad local, unida por una fuere fe religiosa, se muestra dispuesta a acogerla y la da el nombre de Altar, pero en los seis dias siguientes, previos al misterioso Festival del Perdon, su presencia acaba exponiendo los miedos mas profundos y las hipocresias de la congregacion." -- page [4] of cover.
