In the Depth of PostmodernismFelsefe
I've never read a book that was both so complex and so organized at the same time as this one. Metafiction, fragmented structure, questioning metanarratives, posthumanism, postcolonialism, and all the "post-" are combined in this book. The book's self-reflective nature and its direct conversation with the reader have made it one of my favorite books written from a second-person perspective. It has a style that leads the reader into paradoxes, confuses them, and definitely broadens their horizons. Especially the stories that follow each episode are like a narrative version of the main plot of that episode. For example, in the first chapter, we, as readers, embark on a journey. A reading journey. The title of the next chapter is "If on a winter's night a traveler". So it's about someone who's embarked on a journey, a traveler. But this episode is cut short, and our character's journey is interrupted. Just like we, the readers, are constantly interrupted by the narrator throughout this book. There's a mystery in this chapter. We don't know what that mystery is. We also encounter a mystery while reading this book; which book are we reading? Why is the book incomplete? Where is the rest? And in the next chapter, we, the readers, are on the hunt for the continuation of the previous story. We go to the bookstore and find another story that could be a sequel. But this story we found has been replaced by the main story. Just like the main plot of the story we are about to read. So throughout the book, we, the readers and narrators, speak first, taking on an active role. At the end of each chapter, we read a different story. And these stories are like continuations of the previous chapter's narrative.
This rather confusing book achieves its purpose: it bores the reader. But
The May 2020 edition has just arrived and was read immediately:)
Friends who love science fiction thriller, you should start this urgently when you run out of book..
Ugh, how to explain this book. First, let me clean the sand that escaped into my throat.
The book is so realistic that you literally live what you read. I can say that I faced my claustorophobia in the first parts. I guess I held my breath while reading the book, or I tried to read it with little breath.
The world is under the sands, and people who have built ruined towns on it are trying to live somehow. The most popular profession is 'Sand Diving', they dive 300-400 meters deep. You can estimate the pressure on you while reading. The plot is awesome.
& It was my book to meet Hugh Howey. Author of the Silo series.
The author's writing biography is also very dramatic. He can't publish his book, and he publishes it in the form of an e-book from amazon for a very small number. And of course, the book is published when it sees great interest from readers.
This book is a 5-piece book published after the Silo series.
The only book. Those who want to meet the author can start with this book.
Monokl books were printed in the Silo series, it is still on sale, ithaki publications received the rights. I bought it from Monokl, I can't wait to start.

The story of a woman,who lost her memory due to Alzheimer'sNörobilim
A debut novel about an accomplished woman who slowly loses her thoughts and memories to early-onset Alzheimer's disease.
Genova's work with Alzheimer's patients has given her a deep understanding of the disorder and its impact not only on the afflicted, but on their friends and family as well. She does a remarkable job of sharing that perspective with her readers. Most of us have a sketchy familiarity with Alzheimer's and its primary symptom: a gradual loss of memory. Genova moves her readers beyond their superficial knowledge to a more profound grasp of the illness, illuminating consequences of it that most haven't considered (for example, the eventual loss of the ability to read a novel, as Alzheimer's patients lose the capacity to keep track of a plot line).
The novel follows Alice Howland's life from her first suspicions of the illness through its conclusive diagnoses to how Alice and her family learn to cope as her condition worsens. Although the story's progression is somewhat predictable, the scenes Genova relates are generally unexpected. Like Alice, the reader never knows when the disease will impact a situation or simply lie dormant in the background. When Alice does exhibit symptoms, they seem to come when she, and the reader, least expect them.
Genova also explores the difficult decisions faced by Alzheimer's patients and their families. She delves into such subjects as treatment options, care facilities, coping mechanisms, genetic implications, and even suicide. The text occasionally gets a bit wordy and artificial during some of these discussions, but for the most part they add to the sense of realism the novel projects.
The book does lack a certain emotional depth. The narrator reports Alice's actions, but doesn't explore her feelings to any great
*spoiler* The book was perfect the main characters, the plot, the character development was just chef's kiss, i loved it until the pregnancy thing came. Well yeah he could be paid those treatments way before and did other things but i feel like he only wanted the pregnancy bc his twin sister is pregnant and wanted their children grow together. And thst throws me off so bad. I was really into him i was like dying for him but even at the end i still have those feelings. So the book left a bitter taste in my mouth.
OMG! OMG! OMG! THIS IS NOT A TYPICAL DARK ROMANCE! THE END IS NOT AN ORDINARY HEA. PLEASE BE ADVISED!
This book satisfied of my both sides. I love dark romance and thrillers. It's a mix of dark romance with thriller and action. Let's talk about this book! It's a satisfying read but that's not it. Of course, it has minor plot holes, however, they are keeping a low profile when it comes to thinking about the plot overall. I can't get over it, oh my goodness.
Kayla has lost her husband and received a letter from a stranger. And it looks like a love letter, btw. And she desperately wrote him back. Also, she has some problems with her house. So that her husband died, she needs to handle the problems on her own. She calls handymen. Only one of them returned her calls. That is Aiden. He is the opposite of her husband, however, she finds him attractive at first sight. She hired him for the roof and then fired him. Things get complicated and they have perfect chemistry at the end. She is his " Sweet Bunny Rabbit " and he is her " Lion King ". They are so cute and sexy. Oh Lord, those spicy scenes . I love every one of them. Meanwhile, her house problems are not done. Eerie things keep happening all the time. And her housekeeper suggested a different solution for the problem. That entangled everything. Oh My God! This is the best part. I'm not gonna spoil it. That's why I'm not saying anything from now on. Please go and read it and thank me later.
I FINALLY FINISHED THIS BOOK!!! I've been reading it since February. Not because I didn’t like it but because I started it at the wrong time. When I began reading it, I was on a tight schedule and didn't have time to read it regularly. The more I delayed reading, the more I lost interest in the book. It became a vicious cycle.
It gives you enemies-to-lovers vibes. There were Nora Stephens who was a literary agent and Charlie Lastra who was a book editor. Nora was like a shark when it came to her job and loved ones. Charlie was so brutal about his criticism. When Nora's sister, Libby insisted on going on a holiday, Nora had no choice but to accept it. She loved busy streets, and traffic noise in the city. She wasn't quite sure about the holiday in a small town called Sunshine Falls. That was a quite different experience for Nora. The plot twist was good enough to keep you awake and the tension between Nora and Charlie was terrific
When I finished it, my overall thoughts were that I loved it and regretted that it took so long to finish it.
