This is the author Milan Kundera, whom I love. I’m thinking about doing a Author Spotlight on him, but first I have to read everything… This would prove easier if I could remember what I have read of his oeuvre. (Fancy word alert!). I got a stack from the library yesterday… looked at it, flipped through it, and couldn’t remember if I had read Identity or Ignorance. I knew that I had read one or the other of them. Well, I decided to take home Ignorance… and it turns out that I had read Ignorance. Started it again. Decided to read it again because it is Fabulous.
Along with this, I have also started Werewolves in Their Youth by Michael Chabon, which Becky assures me is Not funny. I am still working on Oh Pure and Radiant Heart, which I’m sorry…will NOT end. Where in the heck was the editor of this book? 500 pages of absurdity and little development…half of this book needed to be on the chopping room floor. I’m trying to like it, I really am… and I’m going to finish it because I have already made the damn commitment, but sheesh.
I like the word marginalia.
I also started my graduation present from Becky…Miranda July’s No One Belongs Here More Than You…which so far is wonderful. Thank you Becky!!
All for now, more reading to come…———Your Friend——–Jessica.
