can I get a plot synopsis? some themes? at least a genre?

>>8303218
Genre: post apocalyptic

Synopsis: read it on good reads

Themes: government control

Very very good book

>>8303231
>post-apocalyptic
>government control
neh

>>8303234
You don't like post apocalyptic ? :/

>>8303237
it shares a border with fantasy, I'm wary of it. dystopian themes certainly aren't helping.
the only factor making me consider this book is the fact that its published by nyrb, they have a knack for good novels.

>>8303370
Just give it a shot. It's not a long read. I am thoroughly enjoying it.

Read it in a Post-WW2 Russian lit class in college. Great book, I agree.

>>8303218
It's A Canticle for Leibowitz meets Dead Souls. It's great.

>>8303112
I don't consider it comfy overall though, just in parts.

Also she's related to Tolstoy? That's dope

>>8303704
Yup

I actually just started it after my reply to you

Have you read her short stories, also NYRB? Thoughts?

>>8303926
I have not found her short story collection yet in the wild

>>8303926
I've read some of them, they are also good. I prefer The Slynx though.

I too will read The Slynx

>>8303568
How close would it be to Lem or the Strugatsky brothers?

This is a cute picture.

>that scene where Benedikt has sex with like 4 different women in one week and the way the author describes it (through Benedikts perspective)

>>8305940
Good scene

Didn't realize how sad of a book this is
