![]() ![]() ![]() While I’m not quite sure I understand Dead Astronauts (in fact, I’m sure I don’t completely), I know that liked reading this postmodern novel. ![]() The creatures of the Company’s seemingly purposeless experiments, too, get voices, from the Behemoth living in one of the Company’s holding ponds to the murderous duck with a broken wing and the wise Blue Fox. Jeff VanderMeer shifts perspective often, from a homeless woman who finds the journal of a mad scientist who works for the Company to the mad scientist himself. Not only do the “astronauts” exist outside of-or possibly within any-time or place, the book itself is told out of sequence. Begins, however, may not be the right word because time, in this book, has little meaning. Set in the universe introduced in Borne, Dead Astronauts begins with an army of three who are determined to save the world from the Company. ![]()
