The greyscale miniature edition 😂
I didn't actually realise when I ordered them that White Nights was such a slim volume or that I was colour coordinating my purchases 😆

Not sure what to think of this book, it was hard to keep reading. A narcissistic narrator chasing a pale woman and abusing her, I couldn‘t tell what was real and what was hallucinations. I had high hopes for it.

Yeah nah! Couldn‘t figure out wtf was real and hallucinations. Not invested enough to continue. Just didn‘t like it. NEXT!

Mehso-so

This one had been on my radar for a long time so it‘s a shame I didn‘t enjoy it as much as I had hoped. Most of the story is told from the perspective of one hell of an unreliable (and unlikeable) narrator, whose terrible actions brought me close to quitting more than once. And yet there are some things to be enjoyed here, such as …

nosferatu ... the ambiguous plot (“the unreality of the outer world appeared to be an extension of my own disturbed state of mind,“ p. 62) that seems to take place in the aftermath of the release of Vonnegut‘s ice-nine. There is also some beauty in the apocalyptic description of frozen landscapes in the second half of the book, framed by scenes of pointless abuse and violence. … 1y
nosferatu … I do understand the sci-fi is used as a metaphor here, but for me it just doesn‘t work all that well. 1y

Librariana Björk is brilliant! I may not be very familar with her body of work, but she's always struck me as such a visionary. I'm always mesmerized by her! 2y

First book read second in the Vincent Ettrich series. Another story about tricking life, death and Chaos. Making my way through Jonathan Carroll‘s books but not sure if I‘ll finish them all by the end of the year, but I think I‘ve completed my collection of his hard to find books, and sometimes spending too much 💸

The Wooden Sea: A Novel | Jonathan Carroll
post image
Pickpick

“How do you paddle a boat on a wooden sea?” The Wooden Sea is the conclusion to the Crane‘s View series, and follows Francis “Frannie” McCabe, Crane‘s View chief of police that has been a staple through the previous two books. As usual Carrol provides a bit of mystic and bizarre wonder. There‘s travel through time and across lives. Sacrifice for love and anachronistic change that bends the mind.
