Dream book for me to be honest and for sure a new all time fave! I'd be hard pressed to choose between this and Tehanu.
Not at home so will continue the review later cause it's such a complex book!

Quotes Ruxandra Grrr Liked
“This is a mere dream dreamed in a bad time, an Up Yours to the people who ride snowmobiles, make nuclear weapons, and run prison camps by a middle-aged housewife, a critique of civilisation possible only to the civilised, an affirmation pretending to be a rejection, a glass of milk for the soul ulcered by acid rain, a piece of pacifist jeanjacquerie, and a cannibal dance among the savages in the ungodly garden of the farthest West”

"Another book that dovetails nicely with The Dawn of Everything. In this, we have a society that hunts, gathers *and* farms, which is consistent with our distant past!"

"This bit on trade is just. so. good!
"Patience warned me that it’s better not to have a relation of sex with people in foreign countries until you know a good deal about their customs and expectations concerning commitment, marriage, contraception, techniques, and so on. So I just flirted and did some kissing. The cotton women kissed with their mouths wide open, which is surprising if you aren’t expecting it.""

""I told her that I was glad Hops hadn’t taken one of those Warrior names like my grandfather Corruption, or Corpse, or Maggot, (...); but I thought Spear was pretty silly—he might as well call himself Big Penis and be done with it. She didn’t laugh. Nobody ever wanted to laugh at the Warriors. She told me that Spear was a powerful name, and all the names I made fun of were powerful names. I didn’t care."

"I think it's funny that in this world, 'the novel' or what we call literary fiction is a bit low status as art because it 'lacks vision'. And vision is also something specific here, something spiritual."

"I was going to listen to The Back of the Book section on a higher speed, but in that section immediately came salty commentary about how everyone's always in a hurry in our world so I felt a bit personally attached. And now I'm kinda into it?"

"The section on healthcare is way ahead of its time and even now we're not having these conversations very widely. I'm in love."
