I got this from the library but unfortunately it was the bad Clancy Brown translation lol. Maybe I will try to grab the updated translation when I return this one. That being said I did like the book. Definitely agree with the idea that it's very expressionistic, and I liked the narrator occasionally catching himself and being like "oh I keep forgetting you wouldn't necessarily know wtf I am talking about here let me explain" and then that explanation recontextualizes earlier scenes. Also Huxley is full of poo poo he obviously read this

It looks like it's been over a year since we did a play, maybe we do one of those? Other people might have better suggestions but I've read a few by Sarah Ruhl and Annie Baker that I enjoyed thoroughly (most recently The Older Boy and Circle Mirror Transformation respectively)Safety Biscuits posted:Otherwise, Ducks, Newburyport, by Lucy Ellmann. Came out last year and won the Goldsmiths Prize, so should be easy to get hold of. It's a long stream of consciousness novel about a woman somewhere in America baking. I honestly thought a thousand page stream of consciousness novel wouldn't be overly popular but there's like a 3 month backlog on the holds for both the physical and ebook at my library lol
