Someone Who Isn't Me by Geoff Rickly
5.0
“where do we locate the origin of pain?”
this is the very first time in my (almost) three decades of life that i sat down with someone’s writing and could communicate with it perfectly, due to the use of a language and a thought structure substantially similar to what's embedded in my brain. geoff describes his regressive journey around the circular maze named after himself in a way that not only imprints his steps but also connects to others that also share the same material of his turtle-ish shell but still can’t bear to leave their homes and show their baggage to the outside world — or worse — deal with them. also, it is a personal inferno placed in the surface of a vinyl that navigates along its lines until it reaches the bright sunlight through the record’s centre, and i thoroughly enjoyed listening to every single one of its track. geoff is a brilliant writer and (dare i say) has my favourite writing style, one that consists in telling a variety of stories in a single book through a beautiful and consistent game of metaphors
