First Light by Charles Baxter

5.0

I am currently enjoying this book as much as any in recent years -- it is a rare spot. First Light has an intelligence on par with Rachel Cusk's Outline, and the same nimble narration, often peppered with staggeringly deep human insights. I'm in awe of Baxter; its hard to imagine being such a good writer. I have about half the book left.
