one thing I wish every guy writing urban slice of life stuff (which will in future become historical stuff) would do is give the street address of every single location he's writing about. Joseph Mitchell does not let a breath go by without telling you the address of somewhere in NYC and this is wonderful if you, like me, love Google Street View and believe in ghosts

I get what Ursula K. LeGuin was talking about in "From Elfland to Poughkeepsie" now

the history is good but the prose is... a popular history does not need to sound Hip and Casual and Slang-y, lol, that's patronizing. I feel like I'm reading those Math, But For Girls!!! books they inflicted on us in middle school

strongly suspect no one has edited Kelly Link but if it were me I also wouldn't edit Kelly Link so

did we know about this shit???????

hands down fantasy of the year

never seen somebody do with prose what, e.g., The Fall and The Wizard of Oz did with double-casting and re-use of props (and what Calvin and Hobbes does with panel-to-panel cuts and repeated images for e.g. Spaceman Spiff, lol). so so so so glad this trick can work without visuals, dying to see more of it in more books
