Chapter 3 - GEORGE ORR the creature that you are.

"He did not see connections, which is said to be the hallmark of intelligence. He felt connections - like a plumber."

He's so dreamlike and Haber is so grounded in reality. Perfect foils. I like that his subconscious is characterizing Haber before he finds the strength to do it consciously.

Chapter 2 - Haber's perspective is so fun to read, especially the way he talks about Orr. what an absolute dickhead.

This chapter opens with Orr telling a story of dreaming his abusive aunt into the shape of a white cat in his dreams. It ends with him dreaming of Haber, who openly admits abusive paternal intent in his narration, as a horse 🤭

Rereading!

Chapter 1 - forgot this world STARTS OFF weird. I love Orr's perspective. The "I can't," quote got me both times.

this book (& december in particular) oscillates so seamlessly between 'beautiful description of birds in motion' and 'intense yearning of a man that simply wants to be a bird of prey so effing bad'

the back to back reviews of "academic decathlons" and "sunsets" made me weep into my coffee!

a little funny, a little sweet, and, of course, surprisingly insightful

It's impressive how much Coryo sucked at the start of this novel, and how much he has continued to suck more and more and more as it's gone on. I truly hate this piece of shit but god DAMN if he's not compelling
