I really need to stop picking up literary fictions 😭
I can appreciate that this book is beautiful in its writing and literary devices, but I don’t enjoy the fact that nothing is happening. Obviously that’s not the point of this book, this book is more introspective, but I don’t think it’s for me. Also there’s no quotation marks when characters speak which is very confusing.

“Those hearts, so inflated with ecstasy at the spectacle of space, are at the same time withered by it.” (On the physical impacts of space travel.)
There have been many similarly beautiful nuggets of observation or expressions of nuanced human emotion. The world glides by the shuttle windows, and I must resist wanting to look at a map and google all the locations mentioned, being horrible at geography myself.
