Jess Nevins: Rakesfall by @vajra.me : dizzying, phantasmagoric. Wonderfully written, so intelligent. Wit and heartbreak and a long meditation on oppression and the ending of same. To be devoured, but to be savored more; the prose is superb. Rakesfall should be a finalist for every award there is.

Thank you so much!!!

Thank you for writing it!

Good rec, Mr. Nevins. I need more good books!

Thank you!

Btw--Brunner?

You are the Wizard of Books, Mister Nevins. Well spotted. I am not John Kilian Houston, merely a fan of his novels, whether it is SHOCKWAVE RIDER (which seems a little too prophetic in some ways these days...) and of course THE COMPLEAT TRAVELLER IN BLACK.

(Given that he died back in 1995, that would be a trick, I know... still what a wonderful scriber of books, even if some of them are rather bleak.)

Love that Stand on Zanzibar!

Chad Mulligan is one of my _favorite characters_ of all time. Bar none. He expressed my feelings about this extremely silly species we are all a member of.
