Why read it?

1 author picked Beyond the Great, Bloody, Bruised, and Silent Veil of This World as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Jordan Krall is, in my opinion, one of the greatest speculative fiction writers alive today. This novella takes simultaneously place in two different locations: on a spaceship on its way to Mars and in a unnamed city, both with a main character that may or may not be the same. Easy to read, but difficult to understand, Beyond is both a pleasure and a riddle, challenging the reader in the most satisfying way. Dealing with the questions of identity, metaphysical anguish, and conspiracy theories, it radically breaks apart the world as we know it.   

From Seb's list on to bend your mind.
