Broke: fictionalized accounts of the creation of famous literature or other art, where the inspiration clearly comes from things they directly experience

Woke: true accounts of the creation of famous literature.

You tell me what's Bespoke

Not nearly as clever as it thinks. But pretty clever. I was more impressed with the plotting and the interconnectedness of everything than i expected. Not 100% sure if I intend to read the next or not.

I don't know if i should now go restart the book of the short sun, the book of the long sun, or the book of the new sun. I'll reread them all, but now they all have different compelling reasons to do so.

The way Long Sun is recontextualized as an in-universe text written by characters in Short Sun, the way Severian was evidently influenced by a meeting with (????) and (??????) also puts new spin on new sun. Ha

This book is a lot like Gravity's Rainbow in how stubbornly it defies even a straightforward description of “what” “happens” from chapter to chapter and in linear time

Good, some interesting insights, and he seems like a pretty wholesome guy. A little corny sometimes.
