This is a great review of @dashiel_carrera's The Deer by @annie_raab, so attentive to aural quality and effect. I found the novel also almost gamelike, the way it was paced by words like "sparkling" appearing and dodging and haunting the text. https://t.co/iwXinS24Mr

spent a good few hours last night writing and rewriting an interview response about how I don’t tend to be easily moved, then this morning on the train the series of falcons in By Night in Chile left me gasping, so now must rethink worldview

@crrrritic also at the risk superobvious: sometimes what makes a good sentence are the sentences around it. I think a lot about "I did grasp" (Anna Burns, Milkman). kind of blank on its own but stunning after " . . . so impossible it was not to grasp what he was dropping big hints about."
