ThePoptimist | Disorientation: When Fact is Stranger Than Fiction @ThePoptimist | Uploaded July 2022 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
In this crazy mixed-up world getting satire right is hard, if not downright impossible. Elaine Hsieh Chou's debut novel Disorientation still manages to thread that needle and prompted a ton of reading to dig up the real world sources of some of the wilder plot points discussed in the novel. Worth it.
Trying out a new setup which means some blown out lighting, wonky focus glitches, and some iffy sound capture that required a bit of effort in post. In the meantime send me your recommendations for Amsterdam, Haarlem, Delft and Frankfurt! (Less museums and galleries)
