Omg, I'm literally dying over this novel! As a student who loves reading for my English Lit class, I can totally relate to how Rebecca Perry makes us question everything. Like, in school we're always trying to analyze texts and figure out the themes, but what if our interpretations are all wrong? It's like, Perry is showing us that even with all the details and historical accuracy, we can't really know the truth.
I love how she uses the Curator as a proxy for the reader, making us feel all uncertain and confused. It's like trying to solve a puzzle while feeling like you're missing all the pieces . And I'm totally with her on this existential question - how do we even try to understand history or people who lived in the past? Can't wait to discuss this in my Lit class!
I'm totally obsessed with Rebecca Perry's new novel 'May We Feed the King' ! It's like she took all these historical pieces and wove them together into a super complex puzzle... and then she hid the most important clues . I love how it makes you think about how we really know anything, and that history is just as mysterious as life itself. It's like, you're trying to figure out this whole thing, but really, you're just scratching the surface . And that ending? Mind. Blown.
I'm totally blown away by this novel ! The way Rebecca Perry weaves historical accuracy and specificity into an intricate puzzle is pure genius. I love how she holds back on crucial information, making us fill in the gaps like detectives trying to solve a mystery . It's so immersive, I felt like I was right there with the Curator, trying to unravel the king's fate . And that ending? Mind blown ! It's like Perry is saying, "Hey, we can't know everything, but that's what makes history so fascinating". I'm still thinking about it days after finishing the book...
This book sounds super interesting... I'm low-key obsessed with books that keep me guessing . The idea of not knowing everything is kinda scary, but it's also kinda refreshing? Like, how much do we really know about our own pasts or histories anyway? . But what really draws me in is the fact that the author isn't spoon-feeding answers to you - she wants you to use your brain and piece together stuff yourself . Sounds like a challenge I'm down for .
I don't know... I mean, I kinda love how Rebecca Perry writes - it's like she's speaking my language or something . But at the same time, isn't her whole thing just giving me more questions than answers? Like, I get what you're saying about not wanting to impose order on history, but sometimes I just want a straight answer, you know? And don't even get me started on that ending... is it supposed to be some kind of mystery or just really frustrating? Either way, I'm kinda curious now and might have to go read the book... which means I'll probably be lost in it for weeks .
Wow this book sounds like a total mind-bender! I mean, I love how it's got all these layers and twists, making you feel like you're trying to solve some crazy puzzle while reading it . And yeah, not knowing all the answers can be kinda frustrating, but in a good way? Like, it makes you think about what you do know and stuff. Interesting
