A look back on the books I read in 2024 and some thoughts on Olga Tokarczuk's The Empusium
If you liked The Palace of Dreams try out Kadare’s The File on H, I liked it even more. A fictional retelling of two scholars who go in search of the origins of oral epic poetry to answer the “Homeric question.”
That “writing like TV” business— i heard an interview with Nick Mamatas where he gave the impression this problem is an epidemic.
Yes I'm surely not the only one who has noticed.
Thanks for this follow-up post. It helped me understand the point you were making. And pre-ordered your novel!
Thank you!
Hi Lincoln. Have you read António Lobo Antunes. I think ge is a goo example for the things you say in your post
I bought The Inquisitors' Manual this year, but haven't cracked it yet. This is a good reminder to do so though!
Really curious about your log. Could we see a screenshot or a format of it ? Happy new year
