indulgentreads 's review for:

Dead Astronauts by Jeff VanderMeer

---

Vandermeer is an experimental writer, playing with stream of consciousness, consciousness beyond human perception and non linear time. Combine that with a fascinating cluster of characters and you get a very challenging modernist esque read that is best enjoyed as a sensation or experience rather than trying to understand every sentence. A refreshing change in writing style to other scifi but nonetheless challenging and possibly not for me.
