Venusia

I came across this book because a Facebook friend was reading von Shlegell's new novel. Venusia was entertaining, Philip K. Dick-inflected science fiction, wildly difficult to keep up with, but I thought I was getting along pretty well. Then I didn't pick it up for five days while traveling, and I finished the last half in a kind of pleasant stupor. I have a vague sense of what was going on, and my favorite character was the plant. It seemed, however, that the novel possibly had no editor and certainly had no proofreader.
