I fully relate to the post book slump and the dire need to squash it before it arrives. I find it very funny that Dune saved you, as it cursed me to a 2 month reading slump when I read it. What wonder. Great reviews as always!
The Outline trilogy is definitely a right place, right time kind of experience. They are so different from anything else I have ever read and even though they are not exactly a joyful experience, they truly put you in such a Faye mind space, it’s uncanny. I reread them all earlier this year and I was laughing at myself recently because I was describing to myself what it’s like to be a writer sometimes… how you are not necessarily the most exciting person in the world but people seem to make themselves visible to you… like you are their mirror…and then I realized I was totally just describing the Cusk novels 🤭🤭 I think Kudos, the third book, is my favorite.
Wonderful reviews as ever --my vote is yes to buying the next Dune installment (being an enabler here oops), and yes to eventually reading Transit & Kudos!

Such great reviews, Eve! ❤️ I'm really intrigued by The Morgesons...I'll definitely add it to my tbr 😉
