This aged much, much better than it should have. American society is in such a prolonged nihilistic moment that it's not much of a stretch to believe the compulsive self-numbing and despair of this wealthy young man who seems to have the world at his ...more |

"This book seems boring and shallow, and reading it gives me an anesthetized, hollow, detached feeling that I would not describe as entirely pleasant.
And yet I cannot seem to stop, and whenever I have to, I become very anxious to return to it as quick" Read more of this review » |

| Much was made in the wake of Stoppard's death about his deftness with words. I don't know if I see it. So much of what's brilliant in RaGaD is what isn't said, the remarkable way Stoppard illuminates the absurd yet tragic subtext of our lives. ...more | |

Appropriately for the author ballsy enough to use the word "victor" ironically in an American YA series, said series ends with one long joyless victory - for Peetniss shippers, for the rebel districts of Panem, and pretty much everyone else. Don't le ...more |

“Literary truth is not the truth of the biographer or the reporter, it’s not a police report or a sentence handed down by a court. It’s not even the plausibility of a well-constructed narrative. Literary truth is entirely a matter of wording and is directly proportional to the energy that one is able to impress on the sentence. And when it works, there is no stereotype or cliché of popular literature that resists it. It reanimates, revives, subjects everything to its needs.”

Thanks for the friend request and the book recommendation! I'm actually familiar with Okofor -- so far I've liked her short stories but not her novels.
TGWTMH is about 40 pages or less, so closer to one of her short stories probably.
If you read it, you'll have to let me know where it falls on the spectrum of the books of hers you've read.
