esmenetI finally got a hold of Viktor Pelevin's book The Helmet of Horror! I read it almost all in one go, and it gave me a total bookgasm. And a conceptgasm. And a realitygasm.
What I'm saying here is that this is precisely the kind of book I love, the sort of thing that's turtles all the way down. Structurally a bit like Utena but in text. It's also the sort of book I have the most lofty of ambitions to write, someday, when I'm much, much better. But I can't even be professionally envious, because it's just that good.
Hot damn. I simply cannot even.
quadruplify, when you finish this, give me a heads-up so we can talk about it. (Anyone else who's read it or is going to read it, we should also talk!)
