Past the midpoint are we — midpoint’s children mayhaps? More than that — we’re the ones headed for the finish line! Like the excellent folks in the comments I’m find it tricky going here and there, but worth the effort.…

The Midnight’s Children Meander, Week Six
Another great section, and the book is officially exactly nothing like I was expecting when we started. And that’s a joyous distraction, this week of all weeks. I’m going to keep the post a little short, but I did want…
The Midnight’s Children Meander, Week Five
Welcome to Week Five, in which we careen in a meandery way toward something approaching the halfway mark! Like Amanda in the comments, I was struck by how Saleem’s newfound Umbrella Academy-ish (hat tip Guzmán) abilities nicely match the experience…
The Midnight’s Children Meander, Week Four
Well, that was unexpected! 🙂 I think I’ll follow the thread-lead (good instincts, Ute!) and not spoil, except to say that it was fun to find that the title doesn’t mean exactly/only what I always thought it meant. I’m still…

Greetings friends! In brief: New Meander starts August 16th! Which is to say: Following fast on the heels of the internationally acclaimed White Noise and Blind Assassin Meanders, Vortex Industries is thrilled to announce the imminent arrival of The Midnight’s…
The Blind Assassin Meander Finish Line
Thanks to you mighty crew of 30 or so folks who made it to the finish line. And thanks as well to the many fab folks who joined for part of the way. For me, this was classic Meander material.…
The Blind Assassin Meander, Week Nine
Next up, we meander to the end. It’s a slightly longer read than most weeks, but I know you and what you’re capable of. Spoiler: you are capable of this. Two things that struck me this last week out of…
