The Raw Shark Texts: A Novel | Steven Hall

pick

Yeah. Reread confirms, this is a book that's going to stay with me. I'm glad it's one I own, so I can revisit, probably annually. I think having experienced Tigerman by Nick Harkaway this past year, I have a new scale for 'heart-ripped out' books that affected me emotionally, but even knowing what was coming, this one still got to me. Grief, unshakeable, self-annihilating grief, is the undercurrent throughout the story, 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? if you want to investigate the other nifty things you've heard about this book, just please be aware of this too. I love the premise, the world-building, the concepts that Hall has explored here, the fun with formatting! There's a good chunk of sci-fi speculation and a liberal sprinkle of horror, but there's also Ian the cat in all his disdainful glory and a fractured love story that hurts all the more for how briefly we see glimpses of it. 2d

Robotswithpersonality 3/3 As much as there's a great deal of ambiguity in the text, I think I should probably tack on a mental health concerns/suicidal ideation warning here just to be thorough. I can't guarantee you'll get out of this book what I did, but I can hope you find the experience worthwhile. Read with caution. 2d

Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't.
-Mark Twain

In all these years of reading, I have a lot of books and quotes in my memory. Some of them are really remarkable and worth writing down somewhere and sharing with others.

Tamra 💔 There is no replacement. 1w

CBee I‘m so sorry 😢😢 1w

marleed Oh, it‘s tough. I live on my own these days. When my very old and tiny cat died I realized how often I talked aloud to her as if she could fully converse. Each time I‘d go to speak I‘d be hit with the realization she was no longer my shadow. I get your grief one year later 💔 1w

kelli7990 I get it. My dog Toppy passed away on October 25, 2024. My mom and I miss her every day but the neighbor‘s cat has been visiting us and that‘s been a good distraction for us. 1w

DebinHawaii I feel you. Next month makes 2 years since I lost my Max 🐱 and I am not even close to being over it. I stop by adoption events from time to time but I still can‘t answer their questions about cats at home without crying. I‘m just not ready. 💔 1w
