This book didn’t sit well with me – I’m not sure it was supposed to. The synopsis describes this book as a Gothic ghost story, a creepy whodunnit set in a boy’s orphanage. I guess you could say that, but it’s not terribly accurate. This reads more like a night terror – a dream within a dream. I had no idea who was telling the truth, what was real, what wasn’t, who was insane, who wasn’t. I couldn’t trust the narrator (or really, anyone else in this story) and I felt anxious having to spend so much time in his warped, little head. This book reminded me a lot of “Fever Dream” by Samantha Schweblin, not in subject matter but in tone. “The Job of the Wasp” invites wild interpretations and leaves the reader feeling uneasy if a little delirious.… (mais)
Un western très noir, avec des phrases aussi courtes que l’esprit des épaisses brutasses qui parcourent ce livre.
Pas de plan, pas de scénario, pas d’idées. Peut-être un infime questionnement du genre où dormir ce soir voir à plus long terme, qui tuer ou comment survivre

I never know how to rate Colin Winnette’s work because I always finish them wondering what the hell just happened. 5 stars, again, because I need people to experience what a wild ride this book is.
Coyote is the story of the splintering of a family after the disappearance of their daughter. It is fragmented and dark and confusing and painful. But Winnette manages to settle his writing somewhere between prose and poetry, making it impossible to stop reading.

The aspect of this I ended up enjoying most was the relationship and marriage, and the notes on how what he got at face value with his wife revealed a lot of the underlying points of what he didn't. I wasn't as invested in the techy or mysterious parts, though the commentary on capitalism was quite astute. There's got to still be a company if the company's going to improve!
