Status Updates From The Island of Doctor Death ...

The novella "Tracking Song" is brilliant, as I've been told. Very reminiscent of The Left Hand of Darkness, at least in setting; and some of the themes seem similar to The Book of the New Sun. As ever, despite being episodically told and a riotous read, there is much bubbling under the surface. So far I've only read the first story, "The Island of Doctor Death and Other Stories", twice through.

I’m not struggling with this per se but Holy Week absolutely obliterates any chance I have of reading whatever poor unfortunate book I happen to be in the midst of (physically) at the time. Enjoying this very much, actually.
