A review by betharanova
The Swallowed Man by Edward Carey

4.0

A short, intriguing, and disturbing journey. It leaves you with a lot to unpack, as it ought to. It's about loneliness. It's about love and mistaking things for love. There's a lot of playing with the borders between living and not living and dead. This is more contained and frenetic than Piranesi was. It's a solid yet twisty piece of writing, though.
