Write-in for The Affirmation by Christopher Priest

Most of Lanark blew me away. I really got bogged down at the end though. The Owl In Daylight sounds fascinating. I thought PKD was fixed in his belief that we were all perpetually stuck in that one bible verse. I didn’t realize he had developed such complex theories about social evolution. That one really has some merit imo. How about Tar Baby? I haven’t read it but I’d like to.

contrary to my usual glasgow-jingoism i don't like lanark! and not because the, autobiographical, protagonist is an incel who murders a girl who friendzones him

I'm almost afraid to ask, but---if *that* didn't make you dislike it, what did?

Oh the content is definitely unpalatable but you can have good books about awful people. Just didn't really thrill me. Last third or so is a big of a slog. Didn't really appreciate the Unthank sections.
