![]() ![]() In my one-and-a-half years’ stay in Dubai, I can probably count all the fiction I’d read with one hand. This book, but especially the scene of Satan’s Ball, reawakened in me a ravenous appetite for fiction once more. The 400-page novel took me a lot more time to read than was necessary, because my copy was heavily annotated (and I also found myself digging even deeper on certain characters and themes). I came across it in one of the many book recommendations I’d read online.Īt the time, I was in the middle of Mikhail Bulgakov’s “The Master and Margarita.” My raw, honest, and immediate reaction to Katherine Dunn’s “Geek Love.” So instead of passing off this blog as a book review, I will present this more as a reaction paper. I felt that, after all is said and done by literary canons leading all the way back to Plato, I have absolutely nothing significant to contribute. This is something I’d stopped doing after studying - and consequently being intimidated by - literary theories in the university. In what might as well be a break from tradition, I have decided to write about a book right after I finished reading it. ![]()
