A Month of Literary Gratitude, Day 28 - Zoo City, by Lauren Beukes
I just loved Lauren Beukes' Zoo City.
Beukes is a South African author, and this fantasy story has interesting elements of her culture and country, which enriches her story. The writing is unique in that I would categorize some concepts in the story as weird fiction, and other supernatural aspects of this world are not explained at all.
In some ways, leaving these elements to the imagination makes me feel itchy and unfinished, but in other ways, it makes the story more compelling.
A great writer, and a great book.
