We’ve been listening to the audiobook of The Emperor of Gladness.
The Emperor of Gladness is a strange, poetic little gem—kind of like a fever dream you don’t want to wake up from. It’s packed with surreal imagery and offbeat humor, but there’s real heart underneath it all. If you’re into stories that feel like a mix of fairy tale and existential joke, this one’s worth your time. It won’t spell everything out, but that’s part of its charm. Weird in the best way.
