The apocalypse is already here

In apocalyptic pink.

Severance by Ling Ma.

Such a nice surprise! 

I didn’t know what to expect at first and was a bit unsure when I got it. I had my doubts about the whole millennial thing mainly, I don’t like the millennial bashing that goes around, that general disqualification of young people seems childish and alienating. But after giving it a try I found it very well managed and balanced: satire, lightness, in your face mocking, criticism and charm. It giggles a bit in the end, but it is as solid as a book can get, Candace’s journey and mindset are chillingly relatable, along that lightness there’s a chunk of depth about modern life.

Fast and fun, an interesting read.
