The Book Spider crew puzzles over Tanya Tagaq's Split Tooth, a novelish work whose mixture of bleak slice-of-life vignettes with a more fantastic, spiritual register seems like it might be magical realism (but definitely probably isn't).

In the web department, intriguing parallels are found with Patricia Lockwood's No One is Talking About This.
