I read the novella, I Am Death, in 2020 and I don't remember it well. I read it in the peak of being very distracted by current events (first few weeks of COVID-19 shutdown).

I began to read Peasants back then in that state and I just couldn't with my mind as scattered as it was. When I picked it up again, I feared that I would find that the story was at fault, not me, but luckily I found the story to be well constructed and quite a fascinating read.

Peasants is about an older man, set in an show more office. What I loved about it was this heavy foreboding weight that lingered with each line. About midway though I thought it might go in the direction of literal hell or purgatory, and though slightly disappointed that it did not, the sense of hell on earth was enough to sate me.

It was a unique reading experience. The text was slightly challenging for me, but the effect was worth it. show less

fucking awesome!
