Aaron Schmid’s Reviews > Piranesi > Status Update

It took 100+ pages to get to a real sense of the larger narrative. It feels like a mashup of a couple other novels, like A Cure for Suicide meets House of Leaves meets A Voyage to Arcturus or something. It's kind of occult/surrealist meets mythology, with a puzzle/mystery on top - e.g. Giovanni Batista Piranesi's prison etchings, the Labyrinth, etc. It's kinda cool, but pretty shallow and the writing is nothing much.
