Weekly Filet Book Club, Chapter 5
«Annihilation» by Jeff VanderMeer
A piece of wilderness somewhere along the coast has been surrounded by an invisible border – and exhibitions end up in weird catastrophes. Jeff VanderMeer's Southern Reach trilogy is a gloomy, immersive, and gripping investigation into how people want to arrange and understand the world. – Ole Reißmann

«Narcopolis» by Jeet Thayil
The author has a very associative style. The story jumps constantly taking in Mumbai's street life, the biography of the main character and his drug induced phantasies. You never quite know which is which, he seems like a contemprorary Ulysses. – Felicitas B.

«The Way Things Work» by David Macaulay and Neil Ardley
This book formed my childhood and the person who I am now. In German it was called «Mammut Buch der Technik». I think material like this is vital in a technological world like we have now, because it makes things and processes transparent and opens your mind to become creative. – Christopher Pietsch

And with this, the Weekly Filet Book Club ends, at least for now. I'll see you next week, when the Weekly Filet will be back to normal.
