#we disappear

[2189114reads]

we disappear was like a tighter more direct and yet equally ambiguous and unmoored mysterious skin. not that mysterious skin’s looseness and nebulous storytelling strategy is like weaker or anything just different. we disappear was a bare essentials story though. so good..

Now THIS book was fucking phenomenal. An excellent way to clear the air after reading The Chain, which I fucking hated and was terrible :)

The characters are incredibly real and relatable, probably bc it's heavily based on the author's real life experiences. Scott Heim writes beautifully and ties things back to each other so delicately. He describes the main character's/HIS thoughts and emotions so clearly but without being too blunt about it.

This book was an emotional rollercoaster and the mystery aspect pays off so much by the end of the story without being too unreasonable.

Just an incredible book, 10/10

Most of Domino's alums also have an intriguing ethos regarding their placements within the musical genres. Some blur them, which can be seen in the case of Jon Hopkins. Sure, he's an electronic musician, which does suggest a certain set of sonic signifiers, yet he moves within the variety of the different soundscapes that belong to the umbrella, so no surprise to find him in a multitude of place in his opus. While I am certain he's not the only one who collaborated with Eno and Coldplay, I am sure he's one of the rare electronica players that did this. However, check his albums, since they prove such cooperations merely represent his eclectic tastes. I mean, he stays as one of most interesting makes of the modern indietronica thanks to the latter.

Day 2 - We Disappear by Scott Heim - Last book you read

“Somewhere, in some shadowy bedroom of a leaf-strewn town, a father bolts the door to a child's room, then steps closer to the bed. In a neighbor's garden lurks a weed with a funny, blade-petaled flower, its poison choking the red roses. Somewhere a car is crashing; a phone is ringing in the center of night. The spider waits poised in the slipper. The bird swoops headlong into glass it thought was farther air. The strangler envisions a neighborhood of throats. The head finds the noose; the foot kicks the chair.”

“From one of the seats ahead came a melody, seeping from some passenger’s headphones: a ballad, surely meant to be heartbreaking. But I couldn’t hear the words, and my heart felt nothing.”
