< What was the last book you read?
shriek: an afterword, by jeff vandermeer. does/tries to do a lot of things (underground fungal race; sister's afterword on brother's book with annotations by brother, leading to whole meta-analytical style of convolution; postcolonialism and historical revisionism; existential horror)
liked most of it. think it's more about animal epistemology than some race metaphor, which might've been the better choice. think the writing style is decadent (Derogatory) but i'd probably write like that, too. still, liked most of it: the machine, the afterword to the afterword, fungal technology). only recommend if anybody's looking for more jeff vandermeer stuff.

but books i would recommend: this is how you lose the time war by amal el-mohtar and max gladstone, skin room by sara tilley, the city and the city by china mieville.
