Bokurano and Narutaru by Mohiro Kitoh begin as summer adventures among kids before they make a supernatural discovery that, without them yet knowing it, will send their lives spiraling into a macabre saga involving the fate of humanity. It’s bleak and cruel but essential reading.
Among the most interesting manga of the past ten years that reflect on the medium itself are Tokyo These Days, Downfall, and Look Back. If you’re interested in manga and their artists, I highly recommend reading them.
Schauberger warned against straightening rivers, saying it would destroy their self-cleaning capabilities. Engineers ignored him.

I’d like to nominate Héctor A. Murena’s novel Folisofía as the official “Spanish-language” counterpart to James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake. I get the impression that I’m reading a text by Antonio de Nebrija with a touch of many Romance Languages on every page. Absolutely wild.
Coffined thoughts around me, in mummycases, embalmed in spice of words. Thoth, god of libraries, a birdgod, moonycrowned.
