Flux by Jinwoo Chong

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


4.8/5

This is a truly excellent book. The execution is flawless and Chong displays a really impressive control over his own writing that frankly makes me jealous. In particular, the way an 80's noir show ties in all of the different narrative elements and anchors the novel is really nice. Also, the show, and the way that scenes from it are described, made me feel incredibly nostalgic and like I've seen it before. The commentary that it makes on the way that we bond with fiction seriously made me consider a lot of things about myself and my own relationship with books and television.
