Something That May Shock and Discredit You by Daniel M. Lavery

MAN I MISS THE TOAST. I'm glad I read this one slowly so I wasn't exhausted by Danny's pacing or my limited knowledge of Greek & Roman mythology or Evelyn Waugh. To talk about transition in these ways (Athena as tomboy? Grieving a dead name? Jacob as Israel and no long as Jacob?) is so very unique and a fascinating way to process change and overall existence. It was thoughtful and cheeky and the language is that signature mix of arcane insanity and Very Online.
