I hope you are able to pull out of the downward mood, or glide through it as smoothly as possible <3

'Neptune's Day' (Ostap Ukrainets, transl. Oksana Katsanivska), a satirical Groundhog Day-style time-loop story about the sinking of the Moskva cruiser during Russia's current invasion.

Fascinating! I don't think I'm ready to read fiction about the current war in Ukraine, but that's so interesting that it exists. (I expect the translator explained this, but "Neptune's Day" was a staple of Soviet -- and maybe post-Soviet, IDK -- summer camps, with a water-centric Carnivale kind of deal, with costumes and water-based mischief and campers dunking the counselors, so that's my immediate association with that title.)

And thank you for the signal boost (and the kind words!) on the TI post :) Hope it proves useful!
