I finally finished
Cory's Book
Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom
this weekend. I enjoyed the read, made me wish I had a big ol' stack of
thoughtful science fiction to enjoy. I had a hard time at
first; the prose seemed a bit too jargony, the characters hard to
grasp. But I got brought around right in the middle with a vignette
about Zed, a woman our protagonist had been in love with in the past.
It was very touching and personal and did a great job of framing the
character and offsetting the narrative.
