Chloé Cooper Jones Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Chloé Cooper Jones

Another book that I learned a lot from, just in the way that it’s structured and the way that it brings disparate ideas together, I think, is Helen Macdonald’s “H is for Hawk"...the way that she allows her mind to bring all these things together is really great.

...a book I read really recently is Claude McKay’s “Romance in Marseille,” a book that was written, I think, 87 years ago. And it’s a story about a disabled man and love, and lots of other complications. And I was really grateful that I got the chance to read it.

Vivian Gornick says ... that a memoir really should not be about your whole life. It shouldn’t tell the reader everything... all a memoir needs to do is move from a less coherent self to a slightly more coherent self.

Andrew Leland's (@quailty) Country of the Blind, Greg Marshall's (@gregrmarshall) Leg, Helena de Bres (@helenadebres) How to Be Multiple, and Katy Kelleher's (@KatyKelleher) The Ugly History of Beautiful Things--just to name a few--are all excellent.

Took Tracey’s book to MoMA because it, too, belongs in a museum!! Art!

I am at a horse hotel in Massachusetts reading MOBILITY by one of our greatest living prose writers, @lydiakiesling, and it is so good and I’m so proud of my life choices. https://t.co/KyPiVyinSP

Happy publication day to the incomparable @RachelAviv who has written one of the most important books I've ever read.

@melissafebos @Julia_May_Jonas So, Julia accidentally locked herself out of Twitter but as her (self-appointed) lurker, I often send her the nice things I see about Vladimir. I sent her this and she wanted me to respond to say thank you and that she is your fan so this means a lot to her!
