READ THIS BOOK!!! a disgraced journalist investigates a reclusive film director after the director's daughter is found dead in an abandoned warehouse in nyc under mysterious circumstances. whatever you think it's gonna be like based on that description, think again. this book blossoms and metamorphosizes into so many different things and somehow manages to ace every single one. i loved it so much that i was making myself only read ONE PAGE A DAY to make it last longer. 600 pages but feels so much shorter. and the best part? it's incredibly immersive, in part because the author utilizes a ton of multimodal aspects to make it more realistic. things like psych ward files, police reports, websites-- pic attached is an example. it's the only book i've ever read that includes such multimodal aspects in a way that feels INCREDIBLY true to life-- i regularly forgot i was reading fiction and started to look up the director's films to add to my watchlist. SO GOOD, read it now!!!
