I just finished @AlecMacGillis’s book, Fulfillment, a deep dive into Amazon’s unchecked rise to dominance — something that’s been built on, and continues to exacerbate, wider regional disparities. Eye-opening and a must read — https://twitter.com/alecmacgillis/status/1371809095276240896

@mieko_kawakami ありがとうございます!As a fellow indoor person I know painfully what you mean… I was just reading Breasts and Eggs in English for the first time — I’d forgotten it isn’t 乳と卵 but 夏物語 in Japanese! It’s a special feeling to experience the same novel twice 🙏

Amitav Ghosh’s The Great Derangement is still one of the most powerful works I’ve ever read on the climate. I’m looking forward to his latest, The Nutmeg's Curse https://t.co/19JQ5vVJnB

Junichiro Tanizaki might be better known in the West for his In Praise of Shadows. But his Makioka Sisters is a masterpiece — I still compare the various women in my life to the four sisters, for eg she’s a Yukiko, silent but gets what she wants.. https://t.co/sxY9dzkP6l

A Doll's House: (Original Edition)

H. Ibsen

This is just from Wikipedia, but a more accurate description of the folk story. It jumped out at me because I remember writing an essay in school comparing this crane folk story 鶴の恩返しwith Ibsen’s A Doll's House and I was rather proud of my feminist take https://t.co/Ibo4aV0dAy

Legends! Also are more people listening to books now? I am, and was initially embarrassed to admit it somehow.. but it’s helped me to start reading voraciously again. Just finished Rachel Cusk’s Outline trilogy and have overshot my reading challenge for this year.. https://t.co/Rd9oIyn4dQ
