Kitchen

Kitchen left me quite conflicted.

I was drawn in by its simple style of prose and somewhat-absurdist attitude towards life and death which reminded me a lot of The Stranger (by Albert Camus).

I was also pushed away by its unmistakably 80s-90s development and treatment of the trans- characters involved; while it's “of its time” it doesn't wash away the sour taste that is left in your mouth.

As such, it's hard for me to nail down a rating for Kitchen. It only took a few hours to go through and I guess overall I'm happy to have experienced what is here.
