❝i Never Imagined My Career Would Turn Out The Way It Has. After All, I'm Just A Kid From Rosario Who

it's been a while since i did a book review post but i'm not sure if i can be normal about this one boys

cloud cuckoo land by anthony doerr is a novel about the preservation of a (fictional) diogenes play of the same name. but it's actually a book about five of God's most autistic soldiers and the ways in which this play shapes their lives. but it's actually a book about how books and stories give our lives meaning in the face of unthinkable horrors. but it's actually about the hope that his niece will feel better.

this book says it's all worth it. even the shit parts. maybe especially the shit parts. it says if you can make it to the end of the story maybe something beautiful will be waiting for you there.

Seeing a negative review of a book I hate: my beloved brother in arms, the smartest and most beautiful person in the room, we are staring into each other's eyes and there is a place in my heart just for you. nobody understands you like I do

Seeing a negative review of a book I love: I spit on you. You are intellectually and morally beneath me. Clearly you didn't understand the book because you're thick in the head. May moths eat your garments.

I haven't even fully digested all the light we cannot see yet (which is why im going to watch the Netflix series later) but Anthony doerr the writer that you are!!!! I have never read so many excellently entwined narratives and if ATLWCS was doerr's foray into writing novels with alternating perspectives then cloud cuckoo land has to be his magnum opus because HOWWWW do you write three seemingly separate stories spanning across SPACE AND TIME with so many completely different perspectives (like 6) only to weave them together into one narrative all connected by the magic and power of storytelling. HOW. HOW. cloud cuckoo land is an ode to storytelling just like station eleven is! It's about stories can save us. and there's nothing I love more than stories and their metatextual commentary/meta narrative on storytelling

Jeff Goldblum as Zeus calling all his god children to complain about the mean humans, but no one is picking up, and his voicemails get increasingly more frustrated, will live rent free in my brain for the foreseeable future.

So, I’ve just read the new chapter of this fic that I love and I’ve been bawling my eyes out. The non-linear process of healing and learning how to accept love even if you don’t feel deserving of it hits so close to home.
