After Riddley Walker
Engine Summer by John Crowley
You devoured Riddley Walker's savage dialect and post-nuclear ruins, craving that unfiltered dive into humanity's superstitious underbelly and cyclical doom. Engine Summer picks up that crooked path, weaving enigmatic quests through forgotten lore with flawed survivors stumbling sans redemption. It's the experimental allegory fix for intellectual misfits mocking progress and embracing primal grit.
