Shreve Stockton of Honey Rock Dawn recommended We, the Drowned by Carsten Jensen a few months ago and I ordered it with just that vote of confidence for my yearly reading list.

 

I haven’t even made a big dent on it because it’s kind of massive, but I’m already in love with it.  It’s witty, and beautifully worded and for such a big book, where you expect the author to linger around things, it’s surprisingly and refreshingly straightforward which I love even more.

 

 

So, if you are looking for a substantial read, I highly recommend this one.

 

 

Onward!
