They’ve been saying that for a few years now. I just hope “The Passenger” isn’t posthumous.
EDIT:
Stella Maris? Haven’t heard of that until today.

I started “Urth….” last night.
Almost done with “The Magic Christian” - Terry Southern. If I was a billionaire I think I’d act exactly like the asshole in this book does.

Re: Latest book you read (1-10 scale)
from the group chat:
The fuck is a cacogen the fuck is a nenuphar
A little past halfway and I feel like so far it’s just a strange fevered dream
I am so absolutely confused reading this book
This book is like jodorowskt
That book is so fucking bewildering I don’t think you can spoil it unless it’s for like pre alcoholism [redacted]
“Smilodon” haha
Tried to read again
It’s painful
Like is this translated from some other made up language*
The grammar and structure is like a 2 year old found a thesaurus
haha*

Fuck yes.
Somehow I didn’t read Urth and went right into Long. Just finished Short so I’ll probably do it now.
