Living Fiction
I just finished re-reading Jeff VanderMeer’s Veniss Underground. I read it and loved it when it first came out, lured by a stunning review of the book by Michael Moorcock. This time around, as I re-read Veniss I started to think about what draws me back to particular books. I don’t re-read a lot of
