      I started reading Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore tonight and even a chapter in, I am just delighted. (I feel obliged to ask: is Mr. Penumbra a secret alias for Mr. Rogers?)

      Robin Sloan has a great and glorious talent, and it is this: to take things we have learned to treat as mundane, and infuse them with enough mystery-or-magic-or-both that we feel the wonder of them again. It is genuinely marvelous.
