My is brief/won't spoil, to spread good, great, spectacular far & wide.

HAUNTING LESSONS will haunt you. Patrick Barb has created a tragic little tale that packs a powerful punch of pathos & pain within its spare but effective/affecting prose. Caitlin Marceau's illustrations are the perfect compliment to this poignant, unique, memorable story. (Shortwave)

@RanaldClouston @kimlockhartga @bookstodon I realize from this conversation that I really should read some Lethem. So I’ve now put Amnesia Moon onto my Kindle. We’ll see how it goes. Thanks! (For some reason, the Amazon Store told me that Gun, With Occasional Music was not available on Kindle.)

@owlislost @StarlingW @bookstodon Ceremony, by Leslie Marmon Silko. Young Laguna Pueblo man back from WWII with terrible PTSD, survivor guilt, and feelings of alienation from his community. Not fun but beautifully written, with lots of poetic folkloric interludes.
