On the fictional island of Patusan—and much to the ire of the Patusan natives—the Korean conglomerate LK is constructing an …
Thomas King wrote one of my favourite books ( the truth about stories [2003] ). It seemed inevitable that I would love his first collection of poetry. Wry, referential, touching, and bitter - a beautiful recueil.

Incredibly well-written - snappy prose that flows well. Incredibly macabre, foul characters! If you enjoy delving into the darkness with an irony arched eyebrow this one might be for you.
Starts off quite strong, solid analysis of contemporary web practices - got lost a bit in the deeper theoretical parts at the end.

Fantastic novel. As Kushner says in her introduction "Formally, stylistically, [Balestrini's novels] are in a category alone." The change in style as the narrator's political consciousness is awakened is a great thing of art.

An interest look at the way standpoint theory and deference politics get distorted with some thoughts on how to build alternative solidarities and dismantle elite spaces. This book is quite good and has a bunch of interesting historical asides that I wasn't expecting.

An interesting meandering poetry collection that plays with authorial voice, meta-framing elements, and has a linked narrative throughout.

I kept bouncing off this novel. I was intrigued but not gripped until the story truly started to click about a third of the way through and I could not put it down! Susanna Clarke publishes books very infrequently but 2 of her 3 are just fantastic accomplishments (I haven't read the third).

Fascinating novel! Told from the perspective of the white residents of a Southern town after a mass exodus of the Black residents. This perspective allows Kelley to get into some interesting exploration of how race relations exist and how they are perceived.
