Surreal weirdness and illusion. Flora gets bitten. Twice. Sheâs spends time in a Mexican hospital with an old German lady who talks but doesnât listen. And then in London with the ladyâs son, and the bookâs hero, a đ. Fun, weird, odd stuff.

Youâre inside the head of someone with Alzheimers, with his own euthanasia scheduled. The entire way. His death flight.
You may not like him. And anyway what does he remember or understand? Whatâs outside the text?
I thought of Dante
@graywacke.bsky.social#Booker no. 10 - my winner
How to capture this 600-page thing? You have to experience it... and feel it. This a book of sustained discomfort. Violence - and the anticipation of it, and the shock of it. I felt my nerves try to hide in their protective sheaths as I worked through. Itâs all necessary.
@graywacke.bsky.social#Booker no. 9
Not sure any readers understand this, or understand why it sits with us, making is think ⌠and even maybe not know what weâre actually thinking about.

@paidprotester.bsky.socialSen. Cory Booker brought the reality of what's behind the Jack Smith hearing to the forefront. Gaslighting instead of gas prices. This is all to try and cover up Donald Trump's crimes, especially those on January 6th.
1/2

@alexplatt.bsky.socialFuck I loved it, I loved the writing, I loved the story, I loved the characters, and I LOVED the setting. Itâs probably a minor masterpiece but who am I to say? Will be reading his other two novels. Next up: Switzy and The Disappearers, which Iâm sure will be similarly devastating. #booker #booksky
