Reflecting on "Pink Institution"

After reading the "Pink Institution", I was eager to discover similar novels. I have never read a piece where the words were largely spaced on the page, and largely spaced on different pages. The involvement of illustrating images was also an interesting way for Saterstrom to display her story. One of the elements I enjoyed the most were her pages that involved lists with random items such as Motherhood Objects: lives of saints, pet rabbit, instructions, pet chicken, japonica bluff, vitamins, southern lifestyles, lines.

After each random item Saterstrom gives a small story relating to each word. In such an amazing way, each word fits with the message and story she wants to tell.
