yall prophet song is SO good

#it is so immersive. which is scary. like im reading it and truly forget that it's not actually happening in ireland rn* #which sounds sooo dumb lol. i'll go on a news website and for a moment wonder why they're not covering the protests in dublin 😭 #considering the writing style i really didn't expect the reading experience to be like this #but yeah it really deserved to win the booker (<- has not read anything else from the shortlist) #how do you even write a book this good? #it is scary though. im so worried about world politics #*except also so aware that in many ways it IS happening. that while the far right were rejected at the last election they're still a threat #that violent extremists are here and they're acting now. that authoritarianism doesn't arrive one day out of nowhere. that it's journey #takes years and may sometimes be a silent one but is not invisible. that it becomes louder everyday. etc etc etc
