Capsule Review Archive – When Gravity Fails by George Alec Effinger
https://write.as/robinmarx/capsule-review-archive-when-gravity-fails-by-george-alec-effinger
@mirppu Mietin juuri kirjan aloittamista, joten suosittelen lukemaan George Alec Effingerin When Gravity Fails (ensimmäinen kirja suomennettu Kun painovoima pettää) -trilogian.
Ite lähen kolmanteen ja viimeiseen kirjaan.
Noir-dekkareitahan nämä pohjimmiltaan ovat, mutta maailman rakennus ja sen kuvaus ovat aivan täysosumia.
to each his own, of course, but I really loved Schroedinger's Kitten, and the whole ensemble of stories collected in Budayeen Nights. I actually enjoy the ways that the *real* world gets twisted around in speculative fiction and in magical realism. but sure, some of the plot points are way out implausible.
