Mimus

brill

I read it in sixth grade and it's been often drifting into my thoughts ever since. The beautiful writing, vivid imagery, the memorable characters, the unusual plot? I'm not sure what makes this so memorable. Is it Mimus himself, the jester heavily lacking in empathy, a twisted personification of the jokester trope, so resentful of the very ruling class he's entertaining? But anyways, judging from my veryyy reliable recollection, this is a flawless book. I'll reread it soon then but it'll probably end up on my favourites shelf. READ IT.
