The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas (1881) are so strange, so surreal, so full of magic — a riot of endless, hilarious digressions, often feeling like ghostly crônicas, playing with love, time and memory. One of the great novels of the nineteenth century.

@Hukunah it can feel exhausting & excessive but I don’t think he uses it just for development. he examines power, shame, social cruelty etc. depicting rape & not making it neat or easily resolved forces readers to bear witness to that suffering rather than seeing it as just a plot device

twitter activism is when one person who frequently raises awareness about zionist authors poorly words a single tweet about their frustration towards reading and over a thousand people qrt them, yes i'm sure you're definitely gonna motivate them into reading again, well done

Not only one of the most piercing works of social SF ever written but also just a genuinely hilarious satire on modernity. MUST read

sorry isn’t that exactly what she was saying? sff can liberate people from the prison that flattens imagination and limits our ability to question the present. its not about pure escapism/a refusal to engage with reality but a way to imagine different systems, ways of living etc

With all due respect to Le Guin I don’t think we should read (or write) to escape the world (let alone glorify it). We should read (and write) to transform and liberate the world. Sometimes we may even need our reading (and our writing) to destroy it.
