CUBA - the book - on sale
Of one thing I’m sure. Time in Cuba has another dimension.
It is not dilated. It is not stretched. It is not on a scale other than ours.
It is simply in another dimension.
Living and feeling this journey on Cuban land has undoubtedly allowed me to see the world from a different angle.
But it was all so incredibly intense and focused that it’s as if I had written not one but three different books.
My eyes are hurting, my head is full of stories, my heart is full of emotions.
Here, of all this, I wrote my only one book, with images.

“I didn’t know what to say. I felt like crying, Goddamit everybody in the world wants an explanation for your acts and for your very being.”
— Jack Kerouac, On the Road
I read William Gibson’s cyberpunk classic Neuromancer and I thought it was just sort of okay; not, like, bad, but not particularly exceptional either.
But I learned v. quickly that the fact that I don’t think it’s the best book ever written makes a lot of people on the Internet instantly & unreasonably angry, so now I hate it performatively.
i just bought neuromancer the other day but haven’t yet cracked it open, i am SO curious now
The prose is tedious and the characters (with the v. notable exceptions of Molly and the AIs) are all very flat and uninteresting, but the world is still fascinating and bazonkers enough to make it a fun read.
I mean i genuinely love it but it is like super one hundred percent an Acquired Taste thing. Though it loses points in the sequel for not enough Molly
Tbh if Gibson had just made it about Molly the whole time, it would be the best book ever.
I’m not particularly impressed by Gibson but in this house we do love and appreciate Molly Millions.
You are absolutely correct in all ways and I still want to be Molly Millions when I grow up or possibly date her
Reminds me of the time some dumbass on this hellsite got into an argument with me when I said On the Road is a kind of bad, boring book that reads like an extended shitpost. (And the book was actually written during a three-week coke binge, so… yeah.)
Dude was acting so butthurt, even as he swore up and down he wasn’t a Kerouac fanboy. Then he tried to dunk on me for writing vampire fiction. (LOL. He really thought he was doing something there, didn’t he?)
So, yeah. I feel you, OP. Apparently having negative opinions about “classics” gets people veryornery.
(I kinda like Marylou, though. Don’t know why exactly, but I do.)
