Aging, childless digital nomads face the outcome of their life choices as friends move on to families or abandon the expat lifestyle and they find themselves growing bored. “Wherever they go, ‘the brand of oat milk in their flat whites was the same.’”

Well, I DID say I’d be crushing novellas post-Schattenfroh. Probably not getting through a third today, though starting this - “forecasts Bataille’s theories of ecstasy, death, and transgression”, his first novel under a pseudonym. Parallels to Sade and Nietzsche, apparently.

Gensho - two double albums. Each double album is meant to be played as one - two albums played at the same time. Not sure how I’ll pull that off but they’re meant to be good separately as well, and I can at least confirm that that is true.

This is next… I’ve read Novel to Read on the Train but don’t remember it well. But this one in particular was praised by Emil Cioran… should be interesting.

A woman trues to readjust to a life in rural Japan, meets a creature which she follows to a river, and falls into a hole that seems made specifically for her. In the hole, she questions her role in the world as well as her own sanity.

The precise meaning of the Fool’s Cap Map of the World (ca. 1585) remains a mystery. Does the fool represent our world, the vain strivings of its denizens? Or the futility of cartography itself? See the post on our website: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/fools-cap-map-of-the-world/

I still have a short chunk of Schattenfroh to go, really savoring it, back to book posting soon enough (until I pick up another doorstop)
This has made me want to tackle Miss Macintosh, My Darking or even Prae again but I think I need some novellas to make me feel powerful again first

I know everyone on this site hates AI but I've really come around to it
I will never be OK with AI "art" from a literature / high brow museum perspective (who cares about ads and you don't have to watch the movies/shows)
But for nuts and bolts analysis, holy shit it's invaluable
