Welcome to Litsy!

Ten years after Pittsburgh was obliterated in a terrorist attack, former poet Dominic is still grieving his wife, and addicted to visiting her in a VR archive of the city, when he becomes embroiled in the search for a woman who's being erased from the archive. There might have been an interesting story in there somewhere, but the sordid dystopian setting and recurring violence against women left me feeling mostly queasy, and happy when it ended.

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description or reason for wanting to read the book. Some are old and some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books.

Yesterday's #bookhaul 📚

Tom Sweterlitsch offered up some insights into how the people in his life and the literature he's consumed informed the creation of his latest novel. Seems like a really nice guy too. Enjoyed the reading, enjoyed the Q&A and got the tagged book signed! ✍️👏

Matt Ross, director of #CaptainFantastic, has picked his next project: TOMORROW AND TOMORROW by Tom Sweterlitsch! It's set in a near future where a mysterious explosion has wiped out Pittsburgh. The city is then recreated in a virtual reality setting named the Archive. One man, already emotionally damaged due to losing his wife and child, discovers a murder victim who has not been recorded by the Archive...Perfect choice for your #weekendreads!

I haven't lived in my current city long enough to claim it as mine but two cities do hold a special place in my heart: Pittsburgh on the left and Portland on the right. Both of these are post-apocalyptic books that really get the city right.
