I've previously read this book with an appreciation of its style, love of words, and clever writing by the author, who drops the use of each letter as the letter's use is forbidden in the book. In rereading the book now, I am struck by the terrifying, nonsensical authoritarianism on the fiction island of Nollop, which feels all too real. The book is both cathartic and a hopeful reminder of the power of resistance and resilience.
