Well it's been a while since "what the hell did I just, but in a good way" was a category in my life so nice for this to fill that gap.
The scale of this book is still unfathomable to me and I have no idea what to do with it beyond just appreciate it for all that it is in all its weirdness and stories of cities and the relationship between immortal beings and the individual and the collective.
And libraries. Can't forget those.
I want someone else to read this book and tell me what happened.
