Read this for review elsewhere, so will notify here when it is done. But it was amusing to re-read Lovecraft’s “The Whisperer in Darkness”, based as it is on the premise that the recent discovery of Pluto was a signifier of Dreadful Things, the same week that Pluto got downgraded to sub-planet status.
sorry, was only arguing to be polite, as they used to say on raseff. It’s a good recommendation!
