Picking this thread up months later… I wrote a little piece on the Southern Reach Trilogy for the website Somatosphere. I’d love to hear thoughts on it if anyone is interested!

Oh, and I’m looking forward to learning more about Borne at a reading Vandermeer is doing here in a couple weeks.

I was totally entranced by the Southern Reach trilogy. I’ve been thinking about how I’d like to teach it—probably just the first book, since the trilogy’s so long. If anyone has put it on a syllabus, I’d be really interested to hear how that went!
