Le Bouc hémisphère

The book jumps between different styles and formats—I'm curious how the author decided on this structure and what effect it was meant to create.

Vernon seems like a kid caught in a messed-up world, but I wondered if the story made anyone else question how much agency he really had.

The poetry added a lyrical, almost surreal layer to the narrative. I wonder what led to the decision to incorporate that alongside the prose.
