Popisho
Leone Ross
★★★★★
"Generally, men told stories to boast, but women were different. They wanted to look at their words in the air and extract the meaning, and if you shut up and listened, they’d tell you very interesting things indeed."
In this delightful tale, Popisho, you will enter a magical world so vividly that it will fill you with awe, fear, and enchantment: "The warehouse yawned before her, like church. The walls, a perfect, pale blue." Though the experience with Popisho reminds you of the corruptions of the world, it also makes you feel young and free of them. It offers elements that no other book has been able to provide - regardless of its genre. The world of Popisho is rich with natural, tangible experiences.
Popisho provides an interconnected storyline, interwoven throughout a series of individual stories that are quite engaging; the audiobook only enlarges this world. I closed my eyes - often - and drifted into Popisho connecting with its voice, and magical aura 🏔
"Xavier hadn’t realized a grown woman could be so soft-eyed and succulent, especially this one, who scared grown men." Because each character's point of view is integrated and enchantingly conveyed, it becomes a whole, cohesive, familial structure that penetrates your brain and resides there even when you are distant from the book's realm. Popisho is a narrative of gentrification, feminism, masculinity, epochs, and tenderness, as well as an exploration of the in-between: "Most Popisho people left their doors unlocked, but this was Intiasar-Brenteninton property and things weren’t how they used to be."
There is an element of cultural influence to this fairy tale, giving it a fresh and robust nature. There are words in Popisho that seem ambiguous at first, but as the words, characters, and love flow through it, this ambiguity takes on a greater significance. I feel that I am being embraced by a dream that I never wish to leave. I am gutted that, now, having completed Popisho, I now exist as an outsider to it. I miss it terribly so, so I will leave with this: "It seemed outrageous to feel happy, but she was.”
