Wow—this is heavy. Prussian Blue (the opening chapter} is disturbing, dense, and fascinating. Beautifully written/translated, it moves at a lightning pace, my eyes pushing to read faster than my mind can comprehend, as many details deserve my slow savoring. The connection between art/pigment and poison; Fritz Haber’s path to WWII atrocities—my heart races, brain tingles, and blood boils. I am hooked.

Schwarzschild’s Singularity hits different—heavy in a quieter way. Dense; haunting; profoundly moving. Pace is swift yet intimate. The prose propels us from WWI trenches (echoing Prussian Blue’s horror) into genius teetering on madness. Personal tragedy meets cosmic void—genius mediated by madness in operose science eclipses civilizational poison. Awe surges, pity aches. I’m left eager for Schwarzschild biographies.
