Duncker's debut novel has been my favorite among the books we've covered so far as reading it is truly an immersive experience that compels the reader to dig deeper into the world created by the author, mind you, one that already exists beyond the book, albeit with some subtle variations.
I loved the fact that while having prior knowledge of Foucault and his works actually did contribute to and intensify the comprehension of the text, lack of that intel would not prevent the reader from enjoying the act and process of reading.
Duncker's skilled incorporation of philosophical themes into a rather uncomplicated narrative is also really praiseworthy.
