One of the greatest things I've ever experienced. It's fascinating, mind-bending, complex & twisted. By the time you finish reading it, you'll be looking at everything differently. It makes you question mortality, meaning of life & the reliability of your own memory.
I highly recommend it to everyone except people who like simple books.
I've never read anything like it.

mooingzelda This sounds really intriguing! 7y
aniket.barik @mooingzelda it really is! I highly recommend it. I wanted to explain it in a little more detail but the word limit here was not enough to this remarkable book justice. I wrote a rather lengthy review on Goodreads though, check that out, if you'd like to read more. You could also read this review by SF Books : https://sfbook.com/the-affirmation.htm 7y

Playing catch-up with a post for yesterday's #LaIslaBonita for #JuneTunz

Christopher Priest has written several books set in the Dream Archipelago, an infinite group of slightly surreal islands. These two are TBR but I have read the tagged book, The Affirmation, which is his first set in this strange world.

Oryx This sounds interesting. I really liked Inverted World and the Prestige, but hadn't come across this series yet. 8y
