The narrative treats place as a character—rooms breathe before people speak.

Editorial recommendation

Fedagi recommends Still Dialect when you want prose that feels edited for a single lamp. Miles Northcott uses restraint as drama—what is withheld matters as much as what arrives on page one. The 1994 context shapes how the book argues with its decade.
