0 stars

Short stories - have read quite a few. Very odd use of language and perspective. Dreamy - like a David Lynch film.
James

By Percival Everett

4 stars

Good concept to reimagine Huck Finn but have the slave Jim as the hero. Necessarily dark in places but still retains somehow the sense of adventure from Mark Twain. That’s the only odd thing - this sort of tone rubbing up against the nasty brutal nature of the life described. Anyways it was a fast read & I enjoyed the ending.
The Position Of Spoons

By Deborah Levy

0 stars

Short interesting non- fiction pieces on a wide variety of topics. Enjoying it as a good thing to dip into & get you thinking.
Creation Lake

By Rachel Kushner

4 stars

Odd book - have read Kushners ‘cool’ style before but this one took me a while to get into. The characters and story creep up on you but I think many might find it slow.
The Bee Sting

By Paul Murray

4 stars

Beautiful composed writing - have taken a break because I found the apparent fates of the characters too bleak. Will come back to it later.
The Mires

By Tina Makareti

4 stars

Heavy subject but handled in a deft & deep way. Ultimately found it pretty hopeful which is what I need rn.
