This book is one of my favorites, I read it for a Southwest lit class in High School and it really affected me. Blends fiction, poetry, and myth in a fascinating way. Also the Penguin edition cover is quite nice.

so near and dear to my heart. this book was so impactful on my love for religious studies and myth and storytelling. it affected me so deeply the way it handles topics like manโ€™s relation to nature, human destiny, faith, culture, and the nature of truth and story. if i could choose a book to be curriculum it would be this one. pi patel was among my first โ€œliterally meโ€s lol

Chapter 5, Silences. A good read. In my opinion lol. But truly, I enjoyed this obsession so much. It was a surreal and beautiful experience to ponder the nature of silences. There is a plain text version of this conceptual piece of its too difficult to read :)

One of the weirdest books Iโ€™ve ever read, kind of makes language its plaything. Itโ€™s stuck in the back of my brain ever since.
