[AnAmericanMother]

One that I still can't decide if it's worth learning the language for is Riddley Walker by Russell Hoban. He wrote a lot of children's books, but this one is a post-apocalyptic dystopia.

Sort of a funhouse-mirror reflection of "A Canticle for Leibovitz".

The entire BOOK is written in the sort of English that might have developed (or devolved) a couple hundred years after a devastating nuclear war.

Good book, but it was a lot of work.

“Riddley Walker by Russell Hoban”

I read that and loved it. “The heart of the wood’s in the heart of the stone”? Something like that.

Another of the few books I’ll probably read again.
