Anita Felicelli Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Anita Felicelli

brilliant appreciation of Diane Seuss's "frank: sonnets" by @poetmorgan. "Yes, this book is talky, yes, it is lyrical, and yes, these are brilliant. Seuss says, 'The sonnet, like poverty, teaches you what you can do / without.'” https://t.co/okG81VHDC8

Serpell opts for stunning emotional deepenings at every turn. Again and again, the novel exploits the literary potential of the Freudian uncanny to construct haunting multiplications rather than the transparent resolutions of traditional novelists.

tremendous, beautiful @Orion_Magazine interview about The Light Room by Emily Raboteau of Kate Zambreno. "There was such a sense of being spread thin that I was almost translucent—there was light shining through me..." https://t.co/S2cbJkq5WF

I’m finding Gary Gerstle’s The Rise and Fall of the Neoliberal Order to be an absorbing work of history and reframing. https://t.co/xAIlVXGs1W

a joy for me to trace and write about some of author Kim Stanley Robinson's influences for The Gold Coast —and the relationship between California sci fi and Mars—in this week's @CalBookClub newsletter. https://t.co/F7pCLOxTPp

Throughout our lives we are told certain stories and they are stories that we choose to believe — stories that become embedded in our identities in ways we are not always fully cognizant of. — Clint Smith, How the Word is Passed

interesting on Caroline Elkins's Legacy of Violence. "the main reason that the British Empire was able to sustain itself for more than two centuries... was that the British model of state violence came wrapped in this 'velvet glove' of liberal reform." https://t.co/7OBL2M9ExH
