I’m about to go on vacation and I need something wildly immersive- no outright fantasy, just our normie world with magical realism, or a near-future dystopia or soft sci-fi with truly original and mind-bending components. Here are some books like this I loved:
The Animals in That Country- Jean McKay;
Bunny- Mona Awad;
My Volcano- John Elizabeth Stintzi;
Venomous Lumpsucker- Ned Beauman
They quickly go off the rails in the most delicious ways. Just elegant fever dreams in novel form, that crawl into my brain and leave me puzzled but enthralled. I’d love some more recommendations!
