Somehow I saw myself reflected on every page of this @mersaliman book about the search for an Egyptian writer from the 60s. What a beautiful, astonishing book, my favorite in recent months... I loved it.

i’ve only read two of the stories in here but i am already losing my mind about how much of a rare talent Kathleen Alcott is — i wish i could write like her. everyone go preorder this book of perfect stories RIGHT NOW https://t.co/I1QSAcJDdk https://t.co/NsDueThUsb

i wrote a review of the incredible book THE CURIOUS THING by Sandra Lim, considering the connection between female consciousness and the lyric. i loved this book so much; she's a genius! thank you to @LAReviewofBooks for publishing it! https://dev.lareviewofbooks.org/article/i-am-hot-and-tiny-yet-i-wrote-jane-eyre-the-feminine-solitude-of-sandra-lims-the-curious-thing/

absolutely enamored with @smathewss novel ALL THIS COULD BE DIFFERENT. rarely am i so swept away by the fictional world… a voice that risks everything by being genuine and tender. was close to tears almost at all times, and yet it’s funny and erotic. a wonder

when jean rhys saw england and realized that the west is the heart of darkness, not her home in the Caribbean, she wrote VOYAGE IN THE DARK. which is my definition of life in the “global north”
