Mar 31, 2017: interesting experimental piece—not quite sure if it works entirely, but it has a cool premise. A little bit overwritten, a little bit rough on the eyes due to lack of standard paragraphs, but it nevertheless gains momentum as the story progresses. the intermix of various reports help provide an interesting layer of verisimilitude, and also support and underscore the specific time and place in which these events occur.
not typically my cup of tea, but once i was into it, it was worth the wandering—and it’s not a long piece (13 chapters), which feels just about right.
