Book Review: Piranesi
Feb. 19th, 2021 01:14 pmFriends! Romans! Countrymen! After a LONG wait in the library hold queue, I have at last gotten my mitts on Susanna Clarke's Piranesi, and I devoured it in an evening. Highly recommended if you like strange and dreamy worlds and/or a distinctive, curious, occasionally somewhat mystical narrative voice.
( Spoilers )
Obviously, my next step is to read Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, which in any case has been on my to-read list forever. Has anyone read Clarke's story collection The Ladies of Grace Adieu? I don't read short stories often (although I've really been meaning to take a crack at Shirley Jackson's...) but it seems to me that this one might be worth it.
