It makes me so incredibly happy to hear you talking about Butcher's Crossing and John Williams. I adore his books so much. You really have to read Augustus, it totally broke me.
Love to see there love for Lispector! We need more converts! Will need to pick up the Western Williams and more Alfred Hayes. I recently read a Hayes and his prose is so compulsive I could not stop reading! Loved to see that you had such a fruitful reading year!
!Cla-renaissance! I’m here for it and have officially joined the club? The cult? Love how you describe books. You speak to the essence, the feel, and themes of the books you read so well. Those are the kinds of descriptions that get me to pick something up and I’m taking notes :)
The Bluest Eye is one of my favorite "banned" books. Most of Morrison's work has been getting banned from school district libraries/curriculum across the US.
I'm always wondering how it can be possible that we had such different reading experiences with In Love. Not because everybody reads a book very subjectively of course, but because I got so angry reading it, because it was so misogynistic in my opinion and I know for sure that this would be something you would also notice. So I just don't get what happened??? Did I actually read the same book?
oh interesting, i definitely noticed it but i thought it was self-aware in the sense that there was a lot of playing the victim and skewing pov in the re-telling of the relationship to begin with. it brought out the negativity that love can be a catalyst for once its unreturned - and the relationship only being recounted after ending made it unreliable and less romanticized to me. in the other book of his i read recently it was the same theme, really dark/noir depiction of a flawed relationship - so i can see it being a pattern now and less of a stylistic choice 🤔

What was your second Morrison? I'm super curious. She is a force!
I’d never heard of the Cesaire book, I’ll keep an eye out for it.
I loved your “i know I’m super manic in this, but I just drank too much coffee. I’m good👍” (that’s me every morning to my co-workers)
poor snoopy at the back
manually breathing and blinking now
Pato what do you think about AI writing books? Does authors have a future?
