In this exhilarating novel, two friends--often in love, but never lovers--come together as creative partners in the world of video …
Insecure college senior Orion loves music, books, and his best friend Niko. When the two …
I was intrigued to hear of this novel where every printed copy is a unique variation. Would the flow of the novel suffer? Would the seams show? Would it feel contrived? Is it just gimmick?
I'm happy to report that the experiment turned out very well, at least in my copy generated from seed #44346. If I had read the novel with no context I wouldn't have guessed it was assembled from text variations.
It's a horror novel, creepy not gory. Well maybe some variations get gory, I don't know. (hmm, this is hard to review)

And the uniqueness of every book copy? Not a gimmick. It ties into the story the author wanted to tell. Aaron Reed did a magnificent job. I'll probably read another version of the book some day.

A chaotic trans memoir with an unreliable narrator. It’s very very good in places, and in other places the author lost me. I think some things may have gone over my head.

This was a lot of fun to read. 2S poet Joshua Whitehead takes on an invented trickster persona Zoa, then proceeds to riff on and infect well known English language poets, twisting and exploring them in a queer and anticolonial direction. Good stuff.
