I have copied and pasted the entire blog to my Evernote "Books to be Read when they are Published, depending on the reviews and Availability at the SB Public Library" list.
The titles don't appear to be entirely based in reality, a form of pseudo hybrid non-fiction....but certainly brllliant and evocative. We've come to expect no less.
