Dear Life: Stories
Alice Munro
@AnnaKeesey I love Pete. He reminds me of the (then) closeted sweethearts I would have thrown myself at at Northwestern if I weren’t busy reading Alice Munro stories and encountering literary ghosts with you and Sheila.

Disability Awareness
Daniele Luciano Moskal
Came across @benmattlin’s book in a marvelous display for Disability Awareness Month (which I did not know was a thing) @AustinPublicLib. As a person *in* an interabled romance, and whose parents were also in one (cancer/ALS), I found this book fascinating, funny and profound. https://t.co/3gDke08FoQ

Memory Wall: Stories
Anthony Doerr
@gooddirt I think that's really astute! Mandel is gimmicky, kind of the Sally Rooney of sci-fi maybe? There's something incredibly readable about her though. Ted Chaing and Anthony Doerr's sci-fi stuff is brill (have you read Memory Wall??) but leaves me a bit lost.

My Lives: A Memoir
Edmund White
Edmund White has that great line about a really good memoir surprising the writer’s dearest friends and acolytes. If this were a memoir, I’d say this was deeply true of HERO. (Look at me, pithily abbreviating like the narrator’s mom!) I just honestly feel so lucky to have read it

Firework: Big Note Piano, Sheet
Katy Perry
@CCooperJones @LucasESchaefer One more heady thought for the evening that’s not about my personal hotness: the relationship btw easy and difficult beauty brought to mind the scene in rust and bone where Marion Cotillard, after being mauled by a whale, dances to Katy Perry’s Firework https://t.co/MuueNpuss9

Carol
Patricia Highsmith
@ABRAMSbooks @BuzzFeed @ZacharyZane_ There’s so much on this list I want to read! Tom Crewe is next on my pile. And, blast from the past, Patricia Highsmith’s Carol came highly recommended last night in bed. Perfect pillow talk.

17+: When I Was a Child, I Talked Like a Child, I Thought Like a Child, I Reasoned Like a Child. When I Became a Man, I Put
Sylvia Sitompul
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me, except my retainer. I still have that.

"Copy": A Dialogue

@gooddirt It should be up in a couple days! Yep, registered Medildo here. My friends read Edith Wharton while I took spelling tests & worked the overnight copy desk. You too?
