Recent Notes

On Outline

10 days ago

the greek light keeps appearing, almost like another character — warm and indifferent at the same time

On Pnin

15 days ago

the party at the waindell faculty house felt like watching someone try very hard to belong somewhere that doesn't quite want them

On Kafka on the Shore

20 days ago

kafka on the shore is ultimately about memory and the stories we carry inside us, and finishing it feels like waking from a very long, necessary dream

★★★★☆

On The Year of Magical Thinking

20 days ago

the way grief and self-examination become the same act in this book — i don't think i'll read anything quite like it again

★★★☆☆

On Homegoing

25 days ago

gyasi writes the cape coast castle scenes with such restraint and that makes them so much harder to bear

On A Gentleman in Moscow

1 months ago

the politics stay mostly offstage, which makes them feel more ominous, not less

On The Buried Giant

1 months ago

a book about whether love can survive the return of memory. i've been sitting with that question all morning

★★★☆☆

On Lincoln in the Bardo

1 months ago

the voices layering on top of each other like this — dozens of them — is disorienting at first but now i cant imagine the story told any other way
