Toward Eternity by Anton Hur

4.0

Toward Eternity is a thought-provoking and layered exploration of the far-reaching tendrils of language, art, and destruction that will stay with you long after you finish it. It connects the everyday act of speaking to the profound questions of existence, both human and synthetic, and leaves you pondering the power of words to define and redefine both ourselves and the world around us. It becomes delightfully nerdy with how it achieves that — if you studied Victorian literature (like myself), you're going to be thrilled by the philosophical conversations had in this book. I've always loved Anton Hur as a translator, and it's wonderful to add him as a favourite novelist, too.
