There’s something about Randy Ribay’s writing that reminds me of Angie Thomas’s. That was likely a marketing ploy, but in a way I do see merit to that comparison. The blurb on the back of the cover compares this book to Angie Thomas’s The Hate U Give. Every time I saw something, I was like, “Yeah, that’s my culture right there!” By the way, that happened a lot throughout this book. I’ve never read a book with this much Filipino culture. I don’t even know where to begin.įirst off, all the Filipino culture was amazing to see. I also want to say that I’ve never been to the Philippines so I can’t speak to anything in that regard. Seeing myself represented in literature means the world to me. Like the main character of this book, I am half Filipino and half white. I just want to preface this review by saying this was one of my most anticipated reads of the year. Since I received an ARC, my quotes from the book are tentative.

Though “Celephaïs” may be ostensibly little more than yet another Dream Cycle story to be shelved alongside works such as “The White Ship” and “Polaris”, it contains a number of semi-autobiographical allusions that invite us to dwell for a while on the motivations behind the creation of the Dream Cycle, but more on that in a bit. On both a formal and an aesthetic level, this is very much an example of Lovecraft returning to his creative comfort zone: We have the motif of the dreamer being snatched away from mundane reality, we have a somewhat melancholic landscape littered with decoratively ruined temples, and we have both additions and returns to the ever-expanding lexicon of Lovecraftian locations including the Plateau of Leng and the first mention of a town named Innsmouth. “Celephaïs” ( full text) was written in November 1920 and first published in May 1922 in a magazine called The Rainbow. ![]() Escapism only works if you’re able to escape. ![]() ![]() ![]()
