Elsewhere by Alexis Schaitkin
4.75
reflective tense

First book of the year and it’s a weird one! I really liked it. A lot of people compare it to Atwood, but it was giving me Piranesi - you spend a lot of time wondering wtf is happening, but not for lack of descriptions of what’s happening. I also really enjoyed the way the MC fell into 1st person plural. When the community is so weird and secluded and a little sinister, everyone’s actions are collective actions.
