I did not expect an adventure story, an escape, a Chicago speakeasy, gangsters, 1920s decor, and a trip by water to a mythical island on the U.P. Olszewska's weird, glorious novella-in-verse is about girldrive both cynical and mystical; outwitting the authorities; trying to undiscipline one's body; friendship. It's as witty as the gods and I feel as if the whole has just been whispered in my ear.
