I remember very vividly sitting on a beach reading this and just as the novel finishes, the incredible simile of Bendicò’s pelt thrown from a high window and, in unfurling through the air, resembling again if just for a moment the shape and vivacity it had in life. I sat staring at the waves for a long, long while after that lol

note to self: if you’re going to write one novel to get published posthumously after a lifetime of uncertainty and disappointment, make it an incredible banger like this one!
