Smoak reviewed The Past Is Red by Catherynne M. Valente (duplicate)
Review of 'The Past Is Red' on 'Storygraph'
5 stars
A fascinating novella following scenes in the life of Tetley, a delightfully unreliable narrator who is "a kind of post-apocalyptic Candide, always seeing the disaster of her existence as the best of all possible worlds." including an "I hope" speech on par with American Gods' "I believe"
