Excited to read this, I won it in a Goodreads Giveaway!

They let people have weddings outside. Go fishing. Sunbathe on the roofs. With an open nuclear reactor spewing fatal doses of radiation less than 2 miles away. All for the sake of saving face.

“By the time he arrived at work, he understood that everything in Unit Four would be powered down. All he and the others on the graveyard shift would be doing was overseeing the cooling of the reactor: easy work.”

Dude my heart is breaking for Alexander Yuvchenko. He’d been awake for 24 hours the day of the accident so he could take care of his son while his wife worked. This whole setup is giving me chills.

Glad I watched the HBO miniseries before jumping into this book because it's really helping with keeping track of the names of people lol

My last Lumberjanes volume 🥺 Here we go…

Reports Concerning the Death of the Seattle Albatross Are Somewhat Exaggerated: 1/5 what you'd get if Woody Allen wrote a science fiction short story about a funny little bird alien living his wacky life as a baseball team mascot in the big city but also is just oh so lonely :( Complete with "massaging" a woman's breasts without consent! and manslaughter lol also that title isn't quirky it's just a mouthful

In the Bushes: 3/5 short and cute but left me with more questions than answers? also people having sex in bushes, really? you don't need a car to find a better place to have sex lmao

Fugue State: 5/5 this one fucked me up, I felt like I was watching a David Lynch film in my mind lol like the previous story it also left me with more questions than answers but in a fun way, definitely gonna read more from this author

A Precursor to the Cinema: 5/5

The story of a 19th century artist/inventor, written in the style of a history essay. The writing was phenomenal, I was so engrossed by the "history" laid out before me that for a second I thought this was based on real people and art movements.
