Decided to reread Lauren Groff's MATRIX for the hell of it and I remain baffled why this didn't win the National Book Award. The prose is so beautiful. But then I'm also one of those weird atheists who responds very emotionally to the likes of Antonia White and Gail Godwin.

Still grazing on Dana Spiotta's excellent new novel, WAYWARD. One formalistic move I love is that the chapters increasingly become shorter as Sam changes: literally around the time when she becomes a gym rat. Dana Spiotta is such a terrific writer. You need to read this book.
