so-sodid i vibe with that.. or did it vibe with me?
symbolism & #animism are doing heavy lifting here & if you hate metaphors, this desert will probably bury you.
🏜️ = existential isolation
🌵= wounded life but still alive
🫀= vulnerability, pain made visible
& a lot more! talking rocks, a bird & a wagon.

Ummmmm maybe I‘m over protective or American culture is different, but I would not let my 5-6 year old son go with a woman I just met that day to a toy shop while I worked on a laptop in a cafe. 😐
On the other hand, my husband let some Ethiopian women unknown to him take our 3 month old baby into a bathroom in the Addis Ababa airport to change his diaper. First time dad - overwhelmed. 🤭
Me : I‘ll just take a small handbag with me, because I want to travel lightly today.
Also me : I think this paperback would fit in my coat pocket..
(Isn‘t Algernon Blackwood just such an author name?)
pick(2024) It's 1924, and Veronica is being taken to an asylum on the moon, to be treated for "black spells" and neglecting her "wifely duties." And from there things turn weird. Let's just say that if you feel the title promises literal moon-spiders you will not be disappointed. It's "The Yellow Wallpaper" by way of Strange Tales: unsettling, disorienting, more than a little gross and also very good reading.
pickraw, feral, numb, & tender all at once.
it's unraveling in a way that didn‘t feel like falling apart, just loosening.
i finished it and just… stared at the wall for a while.
i‘ll think of Pizza Girl when life slips into that oddly specific ache—the one you can‘t explain but everyone knows exists.
it has a name now.
& apparently, it brought pickles to the existential spiral lol

so-soImmersive, as all of the Southern Reach books have been, and confusing, but perhaps less so than the third book, this fourth book of the trilogy doesn't really do it for me. Maybe I should have re-read the first three before reading this one. Or maybe a trilogy by definition doesn't need a fourth book. That said, Bronson Pinchot does a fantastic job on the narration, especially with the f-bomb-laden last section. #tob25longlist
pickTara is stuck some weird time glitch and is blindly trying to find a way out!
I ordered Volume II halfway thru! I‘m going to be frustrated when I have to wait for III & IV to be released in November. I‘m sure I‘ll preorder.
