Hello Jeff - I have been enjoying the Southern Reach books very much, but I am utterly confused about exactly what rotten honey would smell like given it doesn't rot. Why choose an odor that is impossible to imagine? Thank you for taking the time to satiate my curiosity. Best, Michelle

Many things in the series are about trying to imagine what can't be imagined.

The first book of yours was I read Finch, which I got after seeing a review of it. I've greatly enjoyed the first two Southern Reach books, and am looking forward to the third - which of your other (earlier) books would be most suitable to read as I wait for Acceptance?

What did you think about "The Man Who Had No Eyes" in City of Saints and Madmen in the the mass market paperback edition NOT being encyphered (because the change of format had shifted things and would have required recoding the piece)? Do you think the book lost something with that decision, or do you think most readers wouldn't have bothered to solve the code in the first place?
