review - crossings
5/5 stars Pub Date: July 20, 2020 2021 Goodreads Goal: 9/150
OOPS posted on the wrong account at first!
When I first heard about this book I knew that I needed to check it out. I love reading something that I know is going to challenge me. Then COVID hit and I really didn’t want to read anything that I knew would be difficult or conceptual. I just wanted to consume as many books as possible, to pass as much time as possible, without really having to think about it. I messed up not reading this when it came out. It’s one of my favourite 2020 releases that I’ve read so far.
Crossings is a book that you can read two ways. Conventional front to back, or using an alternate method called the Baroness sequence. The prologue tells you that this is a story that doesn’t belong to the author, they are merely the vessel for publishing it. The story was passed to them from the Baroness who shortly after dropping it off, was brutally murdered.
You’ll find out through your reading that this is the story of colonialism, lost souls, revenge, war, Baudelaire, love and a series of grotesque murders being committed across an impossible number of years.
I love a book that gives you options, so I had to read it following the Baroness sequence. I’m sure that I’ll at some point in the future I will reread it front to back. I can safely say that I think that the book should be initially read in the Baroness sequence, as it helps tell the story chronologically.
I took my time with this and allowed myself to savour the story over a few weeks. The Baroness sequence adds a hypnotic element to your reading, as you don’t really know where in the story you are or how much further you have to go.
I loved it. I really cannot recommend it more. Especially for fans of Cloud Atlas, Hopscotch, or even House of Leaves.

Congratulations @sigliopress always original, always in the front line!!! #Repost @sigliopress ・・・ Today is official publication date for the revelatory anthology “The Saddest Thing Is That I Have Had to Use Words: A Madeline Gins Reader,” edited by @l_cy_v_s! The book includes unpublished prose and poetry, excerpts from two later (hard-to-find) books, and a complete facsimile reproduction of Gins’s masterpiece “WORD RAIN (or A Discursive Introduction to the Intimate Philosophical Investigations of G,R,E,T,A, G,A,R,B,O, It Says),” which is really a mind-blowing work. Lucy Ives has done a stunning job editing this book which I am extremely proud to have published. It’s exactly what Siglio was founded to do! #madelinegins #wordrain #readmorewomen #experimentalliterature #indiepublishing @reversibledestinyfoundation https://www.instagram.com/p/B_N7YOFpLmN/?igshid=1cgxwtfxd6zax
