@zorro_draws@ww0180ij Author got sick in 2024 and hasn’t resumed since. They have a Twitter account, but haven’t posted since the hiatus. Any news regarding the author you read on Reddit is purely speculation or rumors lol. Dude straight up just disappeared
@claustralis The bland cover they do with the random abstract, scattered shapes is rather ugly lol. Their older covers are 100x better and usually what I look for
@oh_tuntun Fernanda Melchors’ storytelling is top notch. I picked up Hurricane Season on a whim and finished it in two sittings. Picked up her latest novella “Pardais” and finished it the same day.
When you come face-to-face with a writer like Toni Morrison, or William H. Gass, who can construct a truly divine sentence, it really makes it obvious how many people treat the sentence as a vehicle for something else, rather than as an essential piece of the art.
@_motherslug I was reading this two weeks ago, and I also stopped at Icicles. It’s not that “Mrs. Mean” was bad per se, but “Pedersen Kid” is just such a hard story to follow up.
