A review by ominousspectre
Borne by Jeff VanderMeer

4.75

How did I know it had happened? Because of its absence now, because I still felt the loss of it, but I didn't know how to convey that to Borne then, because he had never lost anything. Not back then. He just kept accumulating, sampling, tasting. He kept gaining parts of the world, while I kept losing them.

Ugh, I love you, Jeffrey. Not everything he does is perfect of course, as no one is, but everything he does is in earnest.

It is so wild how a dystopian biotech novel can also be about the complicated nature of motherhood. My brain is teeming with Thoughts™
