is it like free fall from william golding in terms of structure if you know that? Actually can you explain just a bit?
a basic synopsis is that itās a book that takes place in two timezones: 1809 and āthe presentā
both timezones take place in the same place and never leave, the Coverly Mansion, specifically in the learning room. the āpresentā people are trying to uncover what happened in 1809

it has a lot of say on history and how to represent it specifically, and the relationship between sex and intelligence
the structure is mainly lines of character speak (such as)
Thomasina: Septimus, what is carnal embrace?
Septimus: Carnal embrace is the practice of throwing oneās arms around a side of beef.
but theres also little descriptions of rooms and movements
Gotcha
anyway iād really recommend it

Ill try to find it what about the other one?
I saw the other one in an second hand bookstore if im not wrong
itās a nonfiction about the authorās experience and feelings on schizophrenia and mental illness
itās particularly funny at points but thats not really the main point
a little hard to describe beyond that iād say
Seems interesting aswell
Whats the tone?
keep in mind theres another book of the same name
specifically the author should be ātom stoppardā
errr
i wouldnāt say depressing but it varies a lot
itās informative about mental illness the way being informative about mental illness is
it can be a bit depressing
Dont think theres any physical copies of arcadia here unfortunate
Ill check the other one out tho
booooooo
just keep an Eye out for it in the future then!
maybe youāll see it
