So it’s 6 a.m. and I’ve just woken from a dream that made me inordinately happy, and I don’t know if this is going to make any sense because the tendrils of the dream are still hanging about me like a fog, but I need to get this down before it evaporates in the light of day, so here goes.

There are so many things about this book that shouldn't work: second person point-of-view, no named characters, the protagonist's entire life told in a relatively short amount of pages. But this novel does work, brilliantly.

Too bright for our infirm Delight

Just looking at my favourite authors listed above:

American Gods by Neil Gaiman
Outside the Dog Museum by Jonathan Carroll
Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie
The Book of Laughter and Forgetting by Milan Kundera
If on a winter's night a traveler by Italo Calvino
1984 by George Orwell.

If you scroll through my "Read" bookshelf, you can see the ones I rated highly as well.


Olivia Brooks-scrivanich Hi, Do you suggest some books of your favourites.

I like it quite a lot so far. I'm only about halfway through, but it's very good. Nicola Griffith's a favorite writer of mine, and she doesn't disappoint.


Olivia Brooks-scrivanich How's the book "Always" do you like it?
