Creation Lake

Creation Lake is complex. It contains multitudes. It is anthropology. It is ethics. It is ecology and politics. It is inter- and intrapersonal. It is contemplative and it is urgent. It is written wonderfully.

It asks the reader to do some work. To meet with the text, to engage with it, not just consume it like yet another digital flicker on a screen. But it will reward such readers.

I enjoyed it thoroughly. I will read it again, and I'd be thrilled if it won the 2024 Booker, for which it is shortlisted.

5/5
