Rating: 5 stars
As I mentioned first in my review of Stardust, there’s a genre of fantasy where the reality is just a click off of the reality that we know. For the reader this means it’s not so much a suspension of disbelief that is required as a questioning of what we consider real. Katherine Dunn understates practically every shocking turn, making each that much more shocking.
(Google searches provide evidence that the idea of “geeks” or “geeking” as used in the book is actually true. Woah. Geeking is real.)
