It was great to read that, after reading the excellent Hyperion cantos by Dan Simmons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperion_Cantos

One of the best set of science fiction novels I’ve read. I’m always surprised at how few sci-fi loving friends haven’t heard of the Hyperion Cantos. It should be required reading.

Apparently it’s being made into a movie. All four books squeezed into a feature length film.

I can't imagine how they would manage that in one film. The first book alone feels more like a series, with each episode covering one pilgrim's tale. Then there's the time jump between the Hyperion books and the Endymion books. Maybe two movies could work. Maybe.

I'm reading through Fleur Jaeggey's recently translated short story collection I Am the Brother of XX right now. If you enjoyed this piece by her, check it out. It's dark, glittering, terse yet rich, and thought-provoking.

If it's all as intense as "A Possible Keats" I think I'll give it a miss for the moment. I don't think enjoyed is the right word. Appreciated certainly, but not enjoyed.

It is all rather dark, condensed, and intense. Certainly not everyday reading for most.
