The stand-out element of That Reminds Me is its structure. The novel tells the story of K from when he was a baby until he comes of age in short very precise snippets of memory. This gives this incredibly emotionally raw coming-of-age tale a rhythm and pace unlike anything you might have read before. K is put into care before he is one, then moves around from countryside to city, meeting people along the way, exploring his identity, sexuality, family, love and religion. A wonderful piece of writing!
