has anyone read the book BL was reading on the trip in the desert areas: Annihilation? Seems like he wanted to make people think GP had gone to Yosemite and would not have cell service and he expected that she wouldn't be found or ID'd in Wyoming. Just wondering if that's how things went in that book.
I’ve read the book & seen the movie (book is way better). It’s hard to explain, & I don’t want to give away spoilers, but to speak in general terms it was written with super strong female characters who are all scientists, & what happens to them can be characterized as somewhat supernatural. (Edit to add: in terms of the backstory, it’s actually one of the women’s husbands who goes missing initially, so it kind of turns a lot of tropes around.)
The author, Jeff VanderMeer, lives in Florida & is a huge environmentalist, & he’s a really popular writer with millennials & gen Z (among others, of course), so I honestly think it was just a popular book & there’s not too much to glean from it in terms of BL. JMO of course!!
