Vibe
Quietly epic, tree-haunted, slow-burn revelation
Best reading setting
Foggy afternoon in Golden Gate Park, back against a big, unbothered tree
My take
Starts like a bunch of unrelated short stories and then slowly clicks into place; made me look up from the page at actual trees like they were side characters I’d been ignoring.
