Why read it?
3 authors picked I Cheerfully Refuse as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Like getting a strong, warm hug at the end of the world. This book is moving, compelling, and quietly defiant.
A vaguely futuristic, mildly dystopic Odyssey set on Lake Superior with a decidedly human protagonist--and the best novel I've read in ages, perfect for sweating out Covid in a porch hammock. The heroes in this tale are ordinary, the natural world fickle, fierce, and magnificent, the evil believable, and prescient. Each sentence is a gem. This book is a praise-song for kindness.
"Lark's theory of angels was that they are us and we mostly don't remember."
The book was encouraging in the way the characters managed difficult circumstances. Tenderness, fortitude and compassion were all essential for the characters to deal with challenges. It fits our time.
