The Gone-Away World

The book balances comedy and bleakness in a way that’s really unique. I wonder what inspired the tone and how it was planned during writing.

The plot kept me guessing, especially with how the different realities intertwine. Was this structure something the author always envisioned or developed later?

The contrast between the dystopian backdrop and the humor makes it stand out. I’m curious whether real-world events influenced the world-building.
