2. Someone Comes to Tbwn, Someone Leaves Tbwn by Cory Doc to row. Doctorow’s unique book was published this year, and I technically found it at Thanksgiving, but who’s counting. Doctorow’s novel is about a man, Alan, who is the offspring of a mountain and a washing machine, and his brothers, who are an island, a prophet, and a set of Russian nesting dolls respectively. Despite this strange beginning, the tone of the story is very matter of fact, and Doctorow stays away from the strange metaphysical atmosphere one might expect. “Alan liked to sit with his back against his mother’s hard enamel side while she rocked and gurgled and churned.” The book is interesting, funny, and clever, with the usual cyberpunk theme of the power of information and evolution. It feels like a cross between a tall tale and William Gibson.
