rainwilder's Book Journey

"Sister is a careful word. [...] You have to be slightly mad to love like that."

The easiest way to my heart is to write a story within a story within a story and this book did exactly that with beautiful prose and a captivating tale. It's a tale of sisterhood and of madness that spans time and space in a logic-defying capacity that is so stunningly written I couldn't put the book down. I loved the "mixed media" approach, it made me feel like I was on my own journey across the black sea, discovering these stories as I sail. Also, the concept of the whale of babel and the museum of collective memory are just so fucking cool, I can't stop thinking about it.
