pickFinally read this gem of a book, which was a gift from @LadyCait84
I really enjoyed it! The premise is the rise of “kentuki,” stuffed animals with cameras and microphones that connect the user with an anonymous viewer somewhere in the world. Schweblin unflinchingly explores all the ways different people would interact with these devices, both as users and viewers. Well written, deeply moving and insightful take on the inevitability of longing.
LadyCait84 So glad you liked it!!! 2y
CSeydel The structure is a series of vignettes from different users‘ pov. Some stories continue for multiple chapters while others are one-off. In a very short space the author manages to encapsulate the many forms of human longing and loneliness, the ways we deceive ourselves, and the narratives we construct about others - even in the absence of evidence. 2y
