She reads her own work as though a performance!

Revisado: 10-15-19

Philomena Anastasia writes with an intelligent, knowing passion. She has something to say. And something to feel in saying it. This is a remarkably diverse, yet completely satisfying, work. You can best catch it in the audiobook format, for this author is a multifaceted talent. She reads her own work as though a performance, perhaps replaying something from her own life's balance.
The depth of her characters is real, and you hear of the real struggle of each. Struggles such as you would feel in yourself. Brilliant, really, to see such complexity, feel such compassion, deal in such irony, and collapse into such humility.
Her writing sails above the story, and as all good writing does, tells the struggles of being human in a land filled with others.
This is the second great novel of her's that I've read. I recommend it regardless of what's next to your bed.
But remember, as she often does, that in life's roller coaster, there are no lap bars. Be patient and step into the car!

A fine mind of learned imagination.

Revisado: 10-06-19

Such a fine mind of learned imagination.The myths of Mesosmerica become even more real with the application of science and the further thought of what may be. Fendley is a complex writer of sensitive, searching themes. This short story is a good entrance into the world of her Zero Time Chronicles. It is worthy of screen time!

There is much here to explore. And science of various sorts. Issues classic and new. And meaningful cultures too. Wow!
