Dick Award Nominee<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, this one just did not work for me. The main character is a 10-year-old deaf (and, I believe, possibly autistic) child, and it\u2019s narrated in a first-person, nearly stream-of-consciousness style, which (in-universe) is the child dictating in sign language to a caretaker who translates what he says. In actuality, the book was originally written in Italian, and has been translated to English. So there are multiple levels of abstraction and translation, and I\u2019m at a loss as to how much of the final writing style and choices were the character\u2019s, an artifact of the in-universe translation from sign language, the author\u2019s, an artifact of the real-world translation from Italian, or some combination of all of those. The end result was that I just didn\u2019t enjoy it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25698\" src=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/9A4D1B00-4D1C-4A69-A328-1679BFD5C195-scaled.jpeg\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/9A4D1B00-4D1C-4A69-A328-1679BFD5C195-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/9A4D1B00-4D1C-4A69-A328-1679BFD5C195-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/9A4D1B00-4D1C-4A69-A328-1679BFD5C195-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/9A4D1B00-4D1C-4A69-A328-1679BFD5C195-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/9A4D1B00-4D1C-4A69-A328-1679BFD5C195-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/9A4D1B00-4D1C-4A69-A328-1679BFD5C195-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/9A4D1B00-4D1C-4A69-A328-1679BFD5C195-668x501.jpeg 668w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unfortunately, this one just did not work for me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2036,2049],"tags":[4107,4101],"class_list":["post-25699","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-books","category-photos","tag-giacomo-sartori","tag-philip-k-dick-award"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25699","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25699"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25699\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25699"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25699"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25699"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
