Christie Malry's Own Double-Entry is a curious blend of dark comedy and thriller, set in a world that feels both absurd and eerily relatable. The protagonist, Christie, navigates his life using double-entry bookkeeping, which he employs to balance the scales of personal and societal injustices. The tone has this dry wit that keeps it engaging, yet the atmosphere can shift to unsettling quite quickly. Pacing feels a bit uneven at times, reflecting the chaos of Christie's life, but that adds to its charm. Performances are interesting, with a certain rawness that fits the material. It's not often you see bookkeeping as a narrative device, which gives it a distinctive flair that sticks with you, for better or worse.
