Oh, Palimpsest. I still don’t think I can pronounce you correctly and this book left me exhausted, a bit confused and more than a little disturbed. Another review described Palimpsest as “clockpunk” which I misread as “cockpunk”. Honestly, I think cockpunk is fitting for this book. A dream city that haunts the days of its visitors, sexually transmitted tattoos of a maze of city streets that grant access only to what’s pictured, leading those addicted to the dark mysteries to seek out others to see more of the city. This book is sort of one long drug-trip combined with lots of completely unsexy sex and a seductive narrative that leads you in fruitless circles without you realizing or really caring that the whole thing is sort of disturbing and nonsensical. I begin to understand the appeal of Lovecraft as far as completely enveloping worlds that may never be easily explainable or even comprehensible. Beautifully written book with vivid imagery, a lush mysterious world, and realistically flawed characters floundering about trying to navigate this dream world. This book has sex upon sex upon sex and it is by in large the most uncomfortable collection of sad, lonely, and need-driven coupling you will ever read. Even within the dream city, things are luridly oversexual, but in a way that is more ominous than titillating. All of that – and this book makes almost no sense. I loved so much of it for how aggressively bizarre and sometimes compellingly uncomfortable it is – but I also spent much of the book feeling like I wasn’t nearly drunk enough to really enjoy it but also like I was slightly word-drunk and drifting. The world here is compelling and really interesting. Enchanting but with an undertone of menace that reminded me of Labyrinth or Neverending Story. But in the end – I just couldn’t finish this one. Perhaps I’ll have to try again another time.
