Captain of the Sands - Jorge Amado. Novel by the great Brazilian writer about a gang of Bahian street kids. A story of friendship, honor and struggle under the backdrop of Salvador da Bahia—the mystical city macumbas and Candomble. Kind of like a Brazilian Outsiders. Anyone who ran with a pack of hooligans in thier youth will find a lot to love here. A very human tales from a very humanist writer. #books #bookstadon

Book Review: Oddbody by Rose Keating
Rose Keating’s debut short story collection, Oddbody features macabre body horror tales with funny, dark and unexpected twists and turns.
Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Genre: Simon & Schuster
Publisher: Short Stories, Horror, Literary Fiction, Speculative Fiction
Review in one word: Macabre
The title Oddbody is a strong signal about what lies between the covers as this collection of short stories: macabre body horror with funny and unexpected twists and turns. In the title story, a woman navigates a codependent relationship with a ghost. In “Squirm,” a daughter must tend to her father who is a man-sized squishy worm devouring himself from the inside out. If this sounds super weird…well it really is…but in a fascinating kind of way I can guarantee you!
“Pineapple” introduces a woman who makes the startling choice to have feather wings surgically attached to her back. In “Eggshells,” a waitress gives birth to an egg during her breakfast shift. These narratives are weird, fun, playful forms of body horror that anyone who loves weird fiction will savour and really love. I don’t think I’ve ever read a book quite like this, and it’s a unique and fresh take on the weird that draws me in here.
The overarching theme of Oddbody is the body itself—as a corporeal site of horror, desire, transformation, and liberation. Keating puts a powerful lens on the body anxieties that women and men have and she’s brutally honest and creepy in a way about it all. The stories are vividly rendered and enjoyable. I found this collection to be masterfully crafted, funny and so much fun to read! I would highly recommend you read it.
Rose Keating is a writer from Waterford, Ireland. She is a recipient of the Curtis Brown Prize and the Marian Keyes Young Writer Award. This collection Oddbody is a bold and surreal descent into a strange netherworld with characters who are grotesque, strange and the tender all at once. I highly recommend this collection if you want to disappear into strange corporeal places you never imagined existed!

Christopher Paoloni - Fractal Noise
Paoloni and I are from different places. He is a “qualified marksman in the Australian army” - I have a conscience certified by the Dutch state. He will never be caught “writing anything that's ultimate nihilistic or defeatist.” You will catch me enjoying stories like that.
The dark tale it apparently was as a first draft, is still in there, but it has been edited, cheared up. Eternal love and hope is sprinkled over it, because literary diabetes is not to be feared.
He does write engaging prose however. The tension he builds up when isolation is pressing on the crew makes for a captivating read that had me thinking about Scott and Amundsen more than once. Nicely done.
Still in the end I think this book is first and foremost a missed opportunity.

I've noticed I've been reading a lot more lately. I think its providing an escape from this dystopian cesspool that is 'Murica at the moment.
Last month I finished a Murakami novel (Killing Commendatore) and now I'm wrapping up the first book in The Dandelion Dynasty (The Grace of Kings). Killing Commendatore was enthralling and I love how Murakami puts these rather boring main characters into Kafka-esque worlds and scenarios. Not to mention the music selection is great. First time I ever listened to opera music and read a novel.
Currently hooked on the Dandelion Dynasty and plan on reading the rest of the series. I discovered Ken Liu as he translated Cixin Liu's The Three Body Problem series (also highly recommend) and I finally started reading his works. Great start so far.
If you have any suggestions on what I should add to the queue, send them over!

In Ída Hennessy's "A Slightly Different Sunrise from Mercury, Nevada," Annie works as a "Canary" at the Nevada nuclear test site, at a time portal bringing tourists back to 1952. Multiple unexpected gut punches. Strongly recommended.
