Against a patterned green cover with red in lower left, Other Worlds: Stories, André Alexis, winner of the Giller Prize.

Reading Other Worlds by André Alexis and it's spectacular. The first, long story "Contrition: An Isekai" is a work of genius, I think. Absolutely perfect in its canny uncanniness and also beautiful evocation of an immigrant experience in such a fresh and insightful way. Funny, deep, compassionate.

Not a lot has been said about the inside covers of the new Southern Reach paperbacks, but take a look at the ones for Absolution. Gorgeous morphing of swamp sunflowers. Really, the whole package is so beautiful.

Raw dog a book. Get something from the library that you’ve never heard of and don’t know the outcome of. Do the Brian Eno thing where you roll dice or draw cards and go to that section of the library. Retrain your intellectual curiosity. Try something you might hate and see what you learn from it.
