Checkout 19
Claire-Louise BennettJames Crossley (@jamescrossley.bsky.social)Stellar review of a stellar writer's oeuvre. Prefers POND to CHECKOUT 19, the opposite of my ranking, but that's a quibble. Claire-Louise Bennett's so good I can hardly believe she's published by one of the big five. https://t.co/UrWSXAjiuY
