Spiegazioni
Shrike58: I recommend the collected set of short novels as in the process of reading these books one is often unsure as to whether VanderMeer is either the smartest guy in the room, or whether he loses control of his material early in the game; with caveats, the former is the truer condition. Besides anything else, you read this book because VanderMeer attempts the hardest thing that you can do in a genre novel, accept that the Universe is more inscrutable than the Human mind can comprehend and still deliver a convincing story with that reality in mind. Besides that the dominant ethical theme is a consideration of what is the cost of true expiation for one's mistakes.
