no but you see. as i was nearing the end of piranesi i expected the narrator to either stay in the House as piranesi or to return to the 'real world' and go back to being matthew rose sorensen. those were the only two viable options to me. so when he invented another self in the end, someone new, when the book said, it is possible to live after trauma, but you cannot return to who you were ever again... i may never recover

read the tainted cup by robert jackson bennet and liked it. mainly that it is a murder mystery you could market as "neurodivergent bisexual rep!!" but it is actually much more about a thesis the detective (very weird woman 👍) throws out at the beginning of the book, that solving murders is about figuring out how the physical objects involved were moving around. very fun materialism in fantasy setting here. a little treat for me. also people get murdered by trees growing out of them real fast

“Lee turned to get a closer look at the boy on his right. “Not bad,” he thought. “¿Por qué si triste?” he asked. Not much of a gambit, but he wasn’t there to converse...He shrugged and said something to the effect that he wasn’t triste or not especially so. Lee looked around the room. “Vámonos a otro lugar,” he said. The boy nodded. They walked down the street into an all-night restaurant and sat down in a booth. The boy dropped a hand onto Lee’s leg under the table. Lee felt his stomach knot with excitement. He gulped his coffee and waited impatiently while the boy finished a beer and smoked a cigarette.”

recent books read in brief

the dispossessed, ursula k le guin, 1974 — she freaked it on this one. great use of past+present split structure. great ending. should be taught in high school but i understand why it might not be

pet sematary, stephen king, 1983 — kind of like the seinfeld effect where it skillfully originates a trope and then feels dated? but for haunted indian burial grounds??? does have an incisive exploration of grief and a perfect last scene. also, fence your yard, jesus christ man

dark matter, blake crouch, 2016 — goes down smooth like gogurt

the lathe of heaven, ursula k le guin, 1971 — i liked the weird little gentle protagonist and his mean love interest. the climate change hurt my feelings. should reread it and develop better thoughts

the amazing adventures of kavalier and clay, michael chabon, 2000 — wahhhhhhhhh (me weepin). what a perfect balance of skilled artifice (prose voice, plot) and animating humanity
