Wow! I am really enjoying this book. It's like SF, in a good way, and very involving. I have not read any Michel Faber before, although I have a few of his earlier books knocking around somewhere and I might try them later.
After a rather disappointing period of not being able to settle with a good fiction book - even Ben Lerner's new book is, so far, not living up to my expectations - it's great to find something I really want to read.
I'll review it properly when I've finished it...
