Alif The Unseen
G. Willow Wilson Image Credit: ISFDB Review by Kris "Metaphors: knowledge existing in several states simultaneously and without contradiction…I think it changes, I mean the book itself, depending on who reads it.""The words you use, how you use them, how you type them, when you send them.
