Weylyn’s story as he grows from boy to man is told from from the perspectives of nine different people, seven of whom knew him, one that only heard about him, and from Weylyn himself…for one chapter. But one day he single-handedly stops a tornado that threatens the family that takes him in, and he and they realize just how different he actually is. Weylyn Grey is an orphan boy raised by wolves, and the proud owner of a horned pig named Merlin. It’s such a relaxing read that it borders on boring, but it’s pleasant nonetheless. Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance: A Novel by Ruth Emmie Lang is one of those walks.

It does not aspire towards perfection, and it appears effortless. Such a celebration is, in my experience, most often the opposite of show-offy. Much like lying on your back and looking up at the stars, when the chemistry is right, a celebration can be one of those times where we are not looking forward or back, not leaning towards the next thing on our to-do list, but rather relaxing into experiencing life as it is and saying, “This is good.” While Janus may not have understood the be here now thing, it cannot be denied that at its best, a really good get-together sometimes lets us slip into the blessed present.
