Gonna check this one out. I just read the first page or two and I like the writing style. I'll keep an eye out for a physical copy before I finish No Longer Human (I'm >>5)

No longer human is definitely an interesting one. It’s almost subversive in how much it refuses to subvert expectation. It loops, spirals, draws closer and eventually ends exactly where you knew it would end from the beginning. Definitely thematically fitting, but while I acknowledge the structural purpose, it was a bit tedious at times.
Yeah agreed. The whole idea of recapturing feelings, reliving experiences etc feels incredibly defeatist to me. What are you? A cat? You got it at the height of what novelty if can afford you, any subsequent time your prey will be slower, exhausted, closer to death. Really just torturing the both of you at that point when you could use whatever you have learned in the process to catch something much bigger next time. Rinse, repeat. It's almost like people think they've just stumblefucked their way towards the most fulfilling experiences they could possibly have by accident. What a horrible fate to believe to have suffered.
