This feels like an incredible reach but I’ve been dying for a halfway coherent way to rec this for ages, so - if you’ve read The Inheritance of Orquidea Divina and want a large cast of characters and more absolutely wild shit like plants growing from peoples bodies, mythic figures lurking around the edges of stories, people sprouting grasshoppers, and magic houses appearing from nowhere (or perhaps growing legs. Or maybe a volcano in Central Park instead) - you should read My Volcano. It’s literary, it’s speculative, it’s folklore, it’s climate fiction; the vibes are a little different but please read it and come yell at me.
Maybe you can explain the lemons.
