Wow, that was unsettling. And so few answers, so few details... like a half-remembered nightmare, really difficult to describe to someone else, but with the feelings very clear and a few horrible details standing out.

Hands down one of the best books I‘ve read this year. Expect a quiet but fierce account of life in a ruined city after the apocalypse, captured in journal entries that are being studied by a disregarded young academic fifty years later. Implied cosmic horror and inescapable academic prejudice in a narrative exploring what makes us choose to live, love and fight. Brilliant.
