At times Borgesian, at times very pedestrian. I found many of the stories exhausting in their pedantic, list-making approach to storytelling. The uncanniness was moderate and the weirdness, ultimately, relatively lowkey. There were some great moments, but mostly it was tedious.

Endlich die fehlenden Seiten in #Zaubernacht von #stevenmillhauser eingeklebt, nun kann ich das wunderbare Büchlein beim zweiten Mal komplett lesen.
Das Basteln hat aber schon Spaß gemacht. Jedenfalls mehr, als ein eBook lesen zu müssen.

"Not to speak, not to form words...not to smear the world with sentences...I knew that every element in the world—a cup, a tree, a day—was inexhaustible. Only the words that expressed it were vague or limited. Words harmed the world...The talking species! We're nothing but an aberration, an error of Nature. What must the stones think of us?"

(What, indeed? I would hope they remain indifferent & unaffected.)
