Fiction – Failures in Polymathy

The Doors of His Face, The Lamp of His Mouth – Roger Zelazny

A highly acclaimed book of short stories.

Better than the middle novel but still not nearly as good as the first, this final installment still feels very peripheral to Oryx and Crake.

If the sentence “Baxter did a Stapeldon” makes sense to you, you will enjoy this review.

Here is a thought – The Bobiverse is nerd-cred done right.

I once thought that reviewing a longer series would be a good idea, but as I got on with this one I felt that there were diminishing returns.

Reading this made me realize that my brain just won’t register horror in any normal way.

Cloud Atlas made me want to reread a certain classic.

This won a Pulitzer?

Sometimes as you read a sequel you just hope beyond hope that it wasn’t a marketing departments decision.
