Alternate History Editorial Review
**** "Radiance" by Cat Valente is a distinctive novel that merges science fiction, fantasy, and film noir in a way that pushes the boundaries of traditional storytelling. Set in an alternate universe during the mid-20th century, the narrative revolves around Severin, a documentary filmmaker and daughter of a famed gothic director. As she seeks to unveil the mystery of a vanished city on Venus through her fifth film, "The Radiant Car Thy Sparrows Drew," she ultimately disappears herself, leaving a trail of intrigue behind. The book’s unconventional structure employs various mediums—scripts, interviews, gossip columns, and even detective narratives—to weave a multifaceted tale. Readers are often captivated by Valente's mesmerizing Prose, which juxtaposes the pulp aesthetics of the era with postmodern elements, making it a challenging but rewarding read. However, the narrative’s non-linear flow and abrupt shifts in perspective can confuse some, requiring readers to engage deeply to unravel the story's connections. The novel encourages quick reading to maintain the thread of the plot, as long lapses can lead to losing track of the intricately layered narrative. While many readers appreciate the originality and depth of "Radiance," others question its coherence and accessibility. The disjointed storytelling may not appeal to everyone, especially those less familiar with Valente's unique style. Ultimately, the novel serves as a fascinating exploration of the art of filmmaking and its relation to memories and legends—but it may only resonate with those accustomed to and fond of Cat Valente's work or similar authors like Gene Wolfe. **
