New Orpheu
Having just finished Kawakami’s Under the Eye of the Big Bird, it is almost shocking just how much better this work is. The premise is stronger, execution is better, ideas explored in a deeper way without bogging you down in the muck of philosophical musings. Feminist speculative SF that appeals way beyond any narrow target demographic. A mystery opened and never fully explained without frustrating the reader. Extremely impressive.
