A review by connorrooke
City of Saints and Madmen by Jeff VanderMeer

5.0

It's strange - none of the individual parts of this book rise above 4 stars, but the book as whole I find worth 5 stars because of the marvelous weirdness of it being so many different kinds of writing in one - there's a 37 page stretch of one story that is the extensive bibliography of pamphlet written by zealous squid fancier. This is an odd piece that justifies its existence by virtue of its oddity.
