unbelievable
The stranger follows the stoy of Adam Price and the secret that has just been revealed to him by a man known only as "The Stanger". With new twists in every chapter, The Stranger should have you hooked from start to finish. Well written and plot twists in all the right places; I couldn't recommend this enough.
The Stranger is also a British television series made as a Netflix original, I would however recommend to anyone that they read this phenomenal novel before even attempting to watch the series.

"I’m currently reading this book, which follows a matsutake mushroom, which is one of the most valuable mushrooms in the world and grows in the destruction and ruins of human disturbance. I’d been talking with my friend Bella about the power of mushrooms, then I saw this in a bookshop in New York and it caught my eye. It’s an anthropological and environmental study, but it’s almost written like a novel. It explores questions about how humans are going to survive in capitalist destruction, through collaborative survival and multi-species landscapes."

"I really love the enigmatic, haunting approach of this film—how it presents this all-girls boarding school, repressed and rife with secret undercurrents of sexual longing, that then ruptures upon colliding with the mysterious and raw natural world. It’s such a fascinating film to puzzle over, and I find it inspiring how the writer of the original novel, Joan Lindsay, by not providing a solution to the mystery and instead allowing the mystery itself to be the focus, upended narrative expectations and created something so beguiling and unforgettable."
