It's less of a collection and more a state of mind, and that state is cluttred and disorganised... 😂

Death of the author: Treating the author's stated
interpretation of their own work as merely one opinion
among many, rather than the authoritative Word of God.
Disappearance of the author: Treating the context and
circumstances of the work's authorship as entirely
irrelevant with respect to its interpretation, as though
the work had popped into existence fully formed just
moments ago.

Taxidermy of the author: Working backwards from a
particular interpretation of the work to draw
conclusions about what the context and circumstances
of its authorship must have been.

Undeath of the author: Holding the author personally
responsible for every possible reading of their work,
even ones they could not reasonably have anticipated
at the time of its authorship.

Frankenstein's Monster of the author: Drawing
conclusions about authorial intent based on elements
that are present only in subsequent adaptations by
other authors.

Weekend at Bernie's of the author: Insisting that the
author would personally endorse your interpretation of
the work if they happened to be present.

I've finished: Anima Rising by Christopher Moore

Christopher Moore is back with a novel that is more appealing to me, despite the very high quantity of crude sexual jokes. (I know it's Moore, but he's laying it very thick here).

I didn't connect with Sacre Bleu or his Noir novels.

Making the book about the models, the disadvantaged rather than the geniouses of the period was a great choice.

I think this will appeal to the fans of the Fool novels more than those of the Pine Cove novels.

i love the advice "write the book you want to read" because not only do you get the story you always craved, you also get to force everyone else to be super invested in the weird little daydream you just made up out of nowhere

I've finished: The Hollow Places by T. Kingfisher

Well, that's it I've finished T. Kingfisher's audiobook catalogue up to 11.2025.

I kept The Hollow Places in reserve because it was the most horror coded of her novels, and while it is full of horror and creepiness, it also has Kingfishers human touch. Softening the hard edges with humor and self reflection.

Trust Kingfisher to write horror that I can thoroughly enjoy.

P.S.
As someone living outside the US, one of the most alien aspects of the novel is the constant angst about the cost of medical treatment. That is truly horrifying.

I never thought I'd end up with a chronic illness where the most useful health advice comes from an old Vaudeville joke:

Patient: Doc, it hurts when I do this!

Doctor: Then don't do that!
