I ended up reading about half of this book while I was on my trip out to Boston for a conference last week, and it actually kept me awake on the plane for the most part, which is nice. It took me about three weeks to finish, but that was mostly because work has been busy and I wasn’t having as much time in the evenings to read.
After my Orfeo experience a few months ago Indiespensible books have worried me a bit, and I was pleasantly surprised that The Blazing World (which was on the longlist for the Man Booker Prize in 2014) was of the same vein as Orfeo but held my attention better, and I actually found myself wanting to read it, rather than finding things to do rather than read it. It’s been sitting around for a while, over year, though I’ve been looking forward to reading it vaguely, with some concern for complicatedness and reading time.
I acquired The Blazing World thanks to Powell’s Indiespensible book club.
