Piranesi by Susanna Clarke
challenging
mysterious
reflective
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
5.0
CW: (mentioned) grooming, (mentioned) abuse, kidnapping, cults
Once again, it's as if Susanna Clarke has written a novel exclusively for me.
In no particular order, here's a list of more things I enjoy:
- Non-Euclidean geometry
- Houses as characters
- Mythological references
- Fourth wall breaks
- People being driven mad while trying to write books
- The Multiverse and alternate dimensions
- Written descriptions of fictional films
- Cults
- Dramatic academics
- Characters who Speak With Capital Letters
- Bog Bodies
And, most importantly....:
- LABYRINTHS
