Derrick @dmartincampbell.bsky.social · 07/10/2026My fave goodreads review of FHotLG is the first 19 words of a two-star review that my algorithm (does goodreads use algorithms like this?) puts near the top. It's perfect: the story line is God, and the book is God's empty home, a lot where Cedar Hawk sees the literal sign that is the book's title. 120 0
Derrick @dmartincampbell.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Mother is one of FHotLG's most upsetting experiences in a book that has like six of these. Reading Erdrich's Mother as prescient of AI feels condescending but there is something about her that rhymes very fashionably with the (welcome) M John Harrison renaissance. She is from a Horror story. 100 0

Derrick @dmartincampbell.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Cedar Hawk's stepdad talks about how a newly ending world is a white-person idea, that those like the colonized Ojibwe have been living in post-apocalyptic lives for a long time. So who is our (white people's) colonizer/genocider? FHotLG's answer is as vague as a figure in a fogged mirror. 111 0
Derrick @dmartincampbell.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Offred bets her survival (and that of normal life) on her 2nd Wave anger. Erdrich's Cedar Hawk, by contrast, waits on the end of the world in an innocence so mannered it is quickly revealed as sainthood. She does not have faith that God will save her, or the world. That is not what Faith is for. 110 0
Derrick @dmartincampbell.bsky.social · 05/10/2026For contrarians like me, Future Home of the Living God's first virtue is that it was initially dismissed as a middling Handmaid's Tale riff by the Netflix-brained critics of 2017. In 2026, Handmaid's Tale reads like a neolib fairytale with its "everything got back to normal" ending. Not FHotLG. 100 0
