It felt like every magical realism, multiple-narrative, unreliable or consistent, speculative work I've ever read before, cascaded into this one. Like they were all mirrors of his work. It pays to read the forerunners!
I'd recommend all of them, you don't have to get a specific book/collection of them, just find any online or if you run into a bookstore that has a compilation it WILL be good.
he bends reality in a way that makes me reminisce of a dimension where he wasn't a perfectionist and published more work.........
every now and again i like to browse random thoughts on the P.I. search and giggle about my finds,,, feels like a hug (and sometimes a deep dive to the psych ward [thank you all])
