This was such a deep dive into the nuances of morality and the relationship between creation and creator, the inherent (immoral) bias and “othering” of those who don’t look like us, as well as dealing with the consequences of vain attempts at glory. She is brilliant.
Besides that, this book is the definition of “f*ck around and find out” and Victor sure as heck found out. This is my third read of this book academically, and I love it so much.
Moderate: Violence, Child death, Death of parent, and Death
