Amygdalatropolis
Edia Connole
@RussellJaffeETC @JohannesGoranss B.R. Yeager's AMYGDALATROPOLIS is similarly visceral and existential, really unforgettable and upsetting in a great way. Ditto NEGATIVE SPACE, which I liked even more, is similar. Recommend.

Recitatif: A Story
Toni Morrison
@alyssaharad Deeper. It reminds me of Toni Morrison's "Recitatif" & how that story deliberately avoids stating either main characters' race. SPHINX was written in French, so the absence of not only pronouns but gendered verbs is impressive.
