Comatose will wreck you. It will make you remember you are dying, and that you have dared to wish it were otherwise, that you have longed for a world that will last. Reading it hurts like shitting pinecones, like digging hole after hole until you’ve buried everything: your stillborn young, your love, your words, the world. J.A. Tyler doesn’t write mythsof creation and destruction. He makes language-shards that refract your consciousness, that draw blood and make you wonder if it’s real. If you exist. At the end of the book, you won’t know.”
