As we&amp;#39;re corralled into ever more obscure online spaces the voices raised on the normienet against this endless assault on privacy will also become ever fewer and fainter.

I&amp;#39;ll probably get over it and try again some day.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&amp;#34;I had not though to pick up any of Maguire&amp;#39;s work thinking it would be lacking substance.&amp;#34;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Possibly so. I find there&amp;#39;s a lot of emotionally difficult material lightly touched upon or encased in easily digestible prose, the change in style is a welcome relief after hammering myself with McCarthy for years. Maguire writes in a style that offers a kind of quiet encouragement to brush past the parts the reader doesn&amp;#39;t really want to deal with, I think. The slower and more intentionally you read the darker things become.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Then again, I&amp;#39;m generally hesitant to recommend fiction to anyone. People&amp;#39;s literary palates are so varied, after all. [i]In Watermelon Sugar[/i] was a revelation to me when I first read it and I still think about it all the time. Most people I&amp;#39;ve met that have read some Brautigan have been beyond negative about it. As time has passed I&amp;#39;ve become less convinced that they just don&amp;#39;t like, get it man, and more inclined to believe that I just have acutely shit taste in literature. Lol.

      In reply to &lt;a href=&#39;/nevent1qqszk5a96e7qtgrp9t0gd2ypscsalr303nxrxenf7jsgtfky76wyumg09n5h4&#39;&gt;nevent1q…n5h4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;_________________________&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I&amp;#39;ve been re-reading [i]The Wicked Years[/i] tetralogy by Gregory Maguire, which I first read around 2012. If you&amp;#39;re not familiar, it&amp;#39;s a re-imagining of the Oz mythos which inspired that [i]Wicked[/i] musical that I&amp;#39;ve never seen that then spawned that grotesque Hollyweird assault they call a movie.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;It&amp;#39;s an excellent series of novels in my view, easily his best work. The author builds out a queasy magical realist playground through which he pursues an unrelenting exploration of pessimism; the series is heavy with themes of absurdism, psychosis, abandonment, the destruction of innocence and self-nullification. So you know, just the fun stuff.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;How about you?
