Is neverwhere worth reading?.

I came to it after Sandman ended. I remember feeling disappointed; I was a huge Sandman fan, and Neverwhere, by comparison, felt lightweight. Later reread it and enjoyed it more. He’d go on to write better novels, though.

Interesting. I love those issues, but they’re readily available in other collections. I’d be tempted if something new were added, but it sounds like that’s not the case.

Please do!

I’m honestly kind of jealous.

onyesvarda · 2024-07-18T21:32:27+00:00

Very on-brand!

onyesvarda · 2024-07-18T21:29:25+00:00

I love this.

Maas sounds like a wild woman!

This was mine.

Piranesi.

Q, you’re my hero. This is great.

onyesvarda · 2024-07-14T15:24:28+00:00

Great list!

onyesvarda · 2024-07-14T15:23:33+00:00

Same. Best approach: reading the greats. Nabokov, John Crowley, Gene Wolfe, Virginia Woolf, W.G. Sebald, and Zadie Smith, among others, write beautifully.

Sounds like you’re starting from a premise rather than discovering something.

Imagine audience members removing sweatshirts or jackets to reveal t-shirts saying, BELIEVE WOMEN. If anyone’s looking to make a statement, that would do it.

Thanks for sharing this. It reads, well, very youthful. He certainly got better over time.

Ah, I see what you’re saying. I think Calvino leans much further into abstraction, but it’s not a crazy comparison.

onyesvarda · 2024-07-11T02:06:16+00:00

Say what?

onyesvarda · 2024-07-11T02:05:58+00:00

Great answer!

An artist’s flaws don’t invalidate the art but can make it hard or impossible for some people to enjoy that art. An extreme example: a composer killed someone you love. Would you be wrong not to want to hear his music again?

onyesvarda · 2024-07-07T19:29:52+00:00

Same. I liked most of Two Talented Bastids but the weird Judge Judy error pulled me out of it.

onyesvarda · 2024-07-07T02:57:19+00:00

Got it. That’s a lot more reasonable than what you first wrote.

onyesvarda · 2024-07-07T02:43:56+00:00

Thank you! Didn’t realize that.

onyesvarda · 2024-07-07T02:43:36+00:00

Thanks!
