Recently learned that Tom Robbins passed away earlier this year at age 92. Not sure how this news escaped me—it should have been a National Day of Mourning if the USA had any standards. He only produced 8 novels, but each one is a banger and an absolute delight to read. RIP #booksky

“To fight in a war,” [Huckleberry Finn] said. “Can you imagine?”
“Would that mean facing death every day and doing what other people tell you to do?” I asked.
“I reckon.”
“Yes, Huck, I can imagine.”
Funny, horrifying, razor sharp, and winner of the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction

The Kesh culture is explored through short stories, anthropology records, myths, plays, novel excerpts, song lyrics, and poetry. This non-narrative style may turn off some readers, but Always Coming Home by Ursula K. Le Guin is a master class in worldbuilding!
