Really, this book feels like a living piece of Ambergris itself. That's the easy way to describe this book. From the start, I’ll say this is a four out of five lichens read.Ĭity of Saints and Madmen is a collection of short stories about the fictional city of Ambergris. I am lost inside my mind, inside an apartment unit, inside a pizza.”Īs you can tell, this is the perfect time to read a 700-page tome about a nightmare city that is full of dystopic mysteries and meta-texts. “Did I make pizza yesterday or three months ago? Or am I eating pizza for every meal, every day, having it as snacks between meals in small bites, blending it into a smoothie for all my beverages, writing notes on old stale pizzas to myself and then waking in the night and eating these would-be notepads? To ingest something is to fully control it. Being in lock down for 6 months and only leaving once a week for a contactless vegetable pickup from a local farm CSA, everything sort of takes on a surreal fever-dream quality.
