about Pink Noise: A Posthuman Tale

Leonid Korogodski’s short book [...] combines the force of a parable with a sense of what Wordsworth called “something more deeply interfused,” that strange, almost mystical effect of the whole being far more than the sum of its parts. It’s the sense that we get in The Great Gatsby and Heart of Darkness, like Pink Noise brief works in which a mocking critic could find much to sneer at, but filled with glimpses of worlds beyond the world of the story. [...] Korogodski marries the heavy science and the exciting action with the primal motifs of defenceless children, of mothers, of patrimony—the echoes of Nathi’s Zulu ancestry, of identity, of loss, of belonging. These themes lend the story its power. It is an intoxicating story, one that demands to be read quickly, and one that draws you back into its world as soon as you have finished.

Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing
about Pink Noise: A Posthuman Tale

…a superdense rush of technical explanations for the atomic structure of the human—and posthuman—mind, written with the kind of passion that a pornographer might reserve for a detailed description of someone’s reproductive organs, and the kind of lyricism that a poet might use to describe the same parts (albeit by allegory). This, for the most part, really works—Pink Noise manages to be a story that sucks you in and spits you out again some 120 pages later, having somehow convinced your mind to care about the trials and tribulations of people who can’t properly die and who are mostly made from computation.

about Pink Noise: A Posthuman Tale

Explosive in its approach to language and imaginative in its portrayal of a life lived in cyberspace as well as in the real world, this postcyberpunk adventure injects the genre with a long-awaited freshness. A good choice for both adult and YA fans of hard sf and postmodern fantasy.

about Pink Noise: A Posthuman Tale

This book is one of the most impressive works of literature I have read in some time, both utterly original and technologically head-spinning. The pace is relentless and the prose almost poetic in places, with a real sense of grace and emotional power. Pink Noise is the explosive birth of a new star in science fiction.

Chelsey Perry, Apex Reviews
about Pink Noise: A Posthuman Tale

Utterly mind-bending, Pink Noise is nothing if not imaginative. [...] Korogodski skillfully utilizes deeply persuasive language in describing a thoroughly fantastical concept, the full scope of which requires you to stretch the bounds of your imagination to never-before-seen extremes. As a result, you are sure to finish his spiritually-winding tale emotionally exhausted—yet strangely intrigued by the nascent enlightenment you somehow now possess.

about Pink Noise: A Posthuman Tale

This book was a whirlwind adventure. There was something fluid and hypnotic about the phrasing in this story, making me feel very much like a futuristic Alice who had just fallen down the rabbit hole into a whole new world.

Karl Schroeder
about Pink Noise: A Posthuman Tale

Pink Noise is daring in all the ways that science fiction is supposed to be daring. Not only is it great fun to read and filled with moments of touching grace and emotional power, but Pink Noise is also the most thorough-going exploration of the posthuman condition that I have read. Korogodski succeeds in giving us a very human story of loneliness and loves lost that’s also a mind-bending exploration of all the ways that technology could change what it means to be human. He’s raised the bar for the rest of us.

about Pink Noise: A Posthuman Tale

Pink Noise grabs you with the opening paragraph and doesn’t let go until you’ve finished your roller-coaster ride through its fascinating world. Leonid Korogodski has crafted a riveting story in a fully-realized future that is as alien as any you’re likely to find.

about Pink Noise: A Posthuman Tale

An exciting, terrifying rush of words, deftly combining hard science and poetic imagery. I don’t know whether “magnetorheological” is a word. If not, it should be!

about Chopin in the Attic

Belle O’Shane has many gifts, some of them dangerous. She is passionately religious, passionately musical, passionately sexual. Chopin in the Attic is a journal of her eighteenth year, and it is a dazzling spiral of all three of her passions. A thrilling book.

David Huddle, Author of The Story of a Million Years and La Tour Dreams of the Wolf Girl
about Chopin in the Attic

Chopin in the Attic is a literary achievement of considerable substance. The prose is elegant, the scenes are vivid, the thematic concerns are complex. It’s unlike anything I’ve read, though in its freshness of voice and singularity of vision it reminds me of Christina Stead’s The Man Who Loved Children.

Joseph W. Mahoney, Professor Emeritus in English and Language Studies
about Chopin in the Attic

Elisabeth Bell Carroll proves that more has come out of South Boston than rogue musicians, archbishops, and politicians. Chopin in the Attic is a stunning accomplishment.

Midwest Book Reviews
about Chopin in the Attic

One's belief can be so strong that nothing can defer you. "Chopin in the Attic" is a novel following Belle O'Shane, a young woman who claims her visions are from God herself, copying down his words in her journey, seeing things no one has ever seen. When a doctor diagnoses her with epilepsy and states her visions were simply a byproduct of that, her faith is challenged, and she puts away her journal, until years later when she has another thought of her visions. "Chopin in the Attic" is a unique tale of faith, life, and what the world is to us. Highly recommended.
