Freakin' Brilliant. As if I wasn't already a Cronin fan. Goodness. This story is simultaneously so many things - an allegory, am adventure, a mystery, a rumination on loss and grief, a living breathing embodiment of stories and storytelling. A dystopian, scifi, anti-capitalist, post apocalyptic journey. Worth the  wait, for sure.
