The most obvious thing to say about this book is that it is beautiful, because it is. Reading it, I felt lost in the beauty of Samatar‘s sentences, sometimes so much so that I lost sight of the story for the language in which it was told. And yet, by the end, I was there. And captivated.
“I dream of a way of remembering that would not leave a scar. I dream of a way of forgetting that would not mean destruction, burial, loss.”
I jumped on the TBR Bingo bandwagon in the wee bookish bullet journal I set up tonight. It's only a 4x4 grid because it really is a teensy notebook, but I'm looking forward to the extra kick in the pants.
This book is just about perfect: the characters, the structure, the sense of history and culture, and above all the prose, which has a poetic bell-like quality that I'm entirely in love with. #diversebooks #favoritebooks
one of my #novembertbr. I really want to like these books and I can't. I hate to say it's pretentious, but that's kind of the vibe I got 😕. not for me. sorry about my thumb!
"Yours is a negative kingdom." Been swamped with work, but as soon as this arrived I couldn't resist. Sofia Samatar is my weakness.
