For me the weaknesses lies in Sourdough‘s ingredients rather than its telling. His subtle humour and wordplay is ever present, if a little more restrained than in his debut. I remain a fan of Sloan’s writing style, highlighting many passages as I read. Robin Sloan’s Sourdough did not rise to the lofty heights of its predecessor. Could Robin Sloan turn his focus from books to bread and conjure that level of infectious interest, that beguiling quirkiness, that same sense of wonder and awe? Could that recipe be replicated?įor me (a late Gen-X reader) the answer is no. I loved the good-natured retro geek chic of Mr Penumbra’s 24 Hour Bookstore, the mystery and magic of the puzzle and its legacy.
