Much like 2666, it's hard for me to tell how I feel about this in the moment, but I strongly suspect it'll haunt my memories for a long time to come. In fact, the inspiration for reading it in the first place was that 2666 kept bouncing around in there. While this doesn't have the same eerie quality, the depth that its 360-degree portrait of the main characters goes into is incredibly impressive. I have no idea how to summarize who Arturo Bolano or Ulises Lima are in words, but I feel that they now inhabit my heart.

It's incredible that people read this as a satire of (quoting the Goodreads blurb here) "Soviet pseudo-science" when it's so clearly applicable to research-focused academia in any context, or honestly any job involving working with and around the idiosyncrasies of your colleagues. Granted Vybegallo can be read pretty clearly as a Lysenko analog, but I think the more interesting parts of the book are the ones where its affection for the process of scientific labor outshines its scorn for the foibles. The final section on Nevstruev is particularly poignant as well as being really strong science fiction writing, which obviously the authors are capable of but still takes one by surprise that far towards the end of what is up until that point a largely humorous book.

Nice to get some backstory and lore, but perhaps not as toothsome as some other volumes.

Largely a puzzle-box novel, full to bursting with mysteries and clues and red herrings, practically daring the reader to figure it out for themselves. It does have a few moments of genuine emotion that are very sweet, but also an American patriotism that comes across as quite grating.

An infuriating but vital read. The Zionists have truly fucked our people to a degree unimaginable to anyone except of course the people they have fucked worse still.
