I haven't even fully digested all the light we cannot see yet (which is why im going to watch the Netflix series later) but Anthony doerr the writer that you are!!!! I have never read so many excellently entwined narratives and if ATLWCS was doerr's foray into writing novels with alternating perspectives then cloud cuckoo land has to be his magnum opus because HOWWWW do you write three seemingly separate stories spanning across SPACE AND TIME with so many completely different perspectives (like 6) only to weave them together into one narrative all connected by the magic and power of storytelling. HOW. HOW. cloud cuckoo land is an ode to storytelling just like station eleven is! It's about stories can save us. and there's nothing I love more than stories and their metatextual commentary/meta narrative on storytelling

being a only child is like. I'm the eldest. I'm the responsible one. I need to live up to their expectations. I'm their baby. I know everything. I don't know anything that matters. I'm their golden child. I'm their biggest disappointment. I'm nothing like my parents. I'm the worst version of my parents. I'm the exact copy of my parents. I miss them. I can't stand being on the same house for more than a week. They love me. They regret me. I get everything they can offer. I get their whole attention. I can't do anything wrong. I can't fail. I inherited every flaw they have. I'm a mistake. If they fight it's my fault. Everything is my fault. I'm not that important. I'm everything for them. They don't need me the way I need them. They raised me and now they expect me to be somebody else different from them. I'm nothing without them. I'm my own person. I can be everything I want to be. I can't cross their beliefs. When they die I'll be alone. I have been alone since I was born.

The weirdest guy I ever met in a church was this boy who referred to “Buzz Aldrin and his husband” going to the moon. I was completely baffled, and when I asked if he’d misspoken, he got really angry and accused me of being deliberately ignorant of the facts. It turned out that he was somehow comvinced that Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong were married. It took five Wikipedia articles to convince him otherwise.
