What do reviewers say about Memoir Man and Sohrab?
Memoir Man opens like a dare. That absinthe, sharp, bitter, not for everyone. But the people who get it? They wear nothing else. The wormwood isn't a quirk. It's the whole point.Memoir Man
Sohrab doesn't whisper. It fills a space the way a lit match fills a dark room, unhurried, inevitable. The smoke-and-resin character means it's not for those who want invisible wear.Sohrab
