Mostafa Chizari
Intoxicating, lyrical, and unashamedly poetic. This book is a high-stakes literary flex: two authors at the top of their game showing off in the best possible way.
The background of how this was written - letters sent back and forth between the two authors, then topped off with collaboratively written narrative scaffolding in between - adds a layer of mystique that makes the final product even more impressive. You can feel the competitive creativity in the prose. It’s dense, rich, and frankly, exquisite.
The plot is basically just wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff, but to be perfectly honest this is all a distraction from the incredible literary art held within the writing style. The plot doesn’t need to do the heavy lifting when the prose is this evocative.
A short, sharp read, and an immaculate sensory experience.
