It’s cheerful and humorous and very techy and generally just a fun ride. While there are a number of talented and quite competent writers out there, sometimes it seems like writing styles have gotten a bit homogeneous - perhaps the product of too many writing workshops and overly-aggressive editors? who knows - but what I like about Sloan is that his writing seem to have a clear personality and voice. Thankfully, after only a few pages, I was already having fun. So, very tentatively, I cracked open Sourdough. I was afraid of reading another book by him, being disappointed and then having my disappointment mar my memory of the other novel. But part of what I loved about it was the charm and uniqueness of the book, and I was worried it would be hard to duplicate. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore, a long time ago and have been recommending it to people fairly liberally ever since. I approached Sourdough by Robin Sloan with great trepidation.
