I haven’t read either of those books, but Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell has wicked footnotes. It was almost my favourite thing about that excellent book.

Funny you should mention that because I have that book right now after I absolutely loved Pirenesi. My wife makes fun of me for having a type when it comes to books, and this is probably why.

Piranesi was good as well! They have a similar otherworldly feel to them but other than that they are very different books. I hope you enjoy this one too!
