Cool ask game! Could I get a rec for 16 and 27 please?

oh, hello!! thank you so much, and sorry for replying so late!

16. for an ingenious, unusual way of storytelling

mmmmmm I would say Run For Your Life by Silvana Gandolfi! it's a ya novel that tells of a true-to-life story of two Mafia victims. Santino's and Lucio's story end up intertwining in a way that is satisfying from many points of view

27. for an unreal story that feels terribly realistic

now this is probably a commonplace answer, but The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka is just!!! the Book™!!! Gregor is such a realistic character but I guess it's no surprise, this is probably tumblr's favorite book. BUT I'd say the short story by Ryunosuke Akutagawa called The Nose could fit here too, in a different way!

#HDJSISIA sorry it took me so long to reply!! it's been a few rough days #this is me taking the chance to recommend run for your life to literally everyone in the entire world AGAIN #it's just that it's such a good book to begin to understand this big; complex phenomenon that is Mafia #and it's always representated so badly. idk what the internet thinks mafia is; but the things I'm sometimes forced to see...#disgusting. really. I wish I could erase all mafia aus from the world.#I mean. just rename them villain au or criminal au. because sure as hell that's not mafia #sorry I started rambling. it's just that. man. i wish people would get more informed. Italians too. ESPECIALLY ITALIANS #coffee time ☕#theuserdilemma
