Delightful first contact story; feels like it's set among the aftermath of the New York Communes. Complex, high-stakes plot nuances about baby wearing, gender complexity and expression, neurodiversity. Critical plot developments happen around Seder. Lots of love for every kind of neurodiverse nerd.

So excited for this africanfuturist metafictional novel
Came through also at the library! Libraries are the best.
This book is wild.
Reminds me of my first encounter with Gaiman — a comparison that I know Moore would likely hate — but without the creeper history, and with the soaring wriggling weirdness of Moore's literary style.
Looking forward to the next book in Long London
Found on the New Books shelf at the White Center KCLS Branch
I was, like, "THAT Alan Moore ?" And despite the cover copy mentioning almost nothing about his legendary comics work, it most definitely is the same guy when you look at the author picture
A fun coffee table book
Not the deepest engagement with these words or the art, but still a fun collection of words.
I particularly liked AMPHIGORY
Strange and thoughtful book with a great, weird premise.
Has a little bit of a "first movie" vibe in that it works very hard to include a lot of interesting ideas and try to make them all matter.
Glad I picked it up though.
