Angel Bonomini, Jordan Landsman: Novices of Lerna (2024, Peninsula Press) No rating

A great doppelganger story

No rating

I got this to read The Novices of Lerna, and the rest of the stories in the collection were less interesting to me.

The Novices is a great doppelganger story that gets at questions of individuality, collectivity, and bureacracy in interesting ways. Bonomini was a contemporary of Borges, and I appreciate the weirdness of this story (and even of some of the others, even if I wasn't as interested in them).
