@stupidgirl45 @Sarah_Nicolas @PintsNCupcakes @Julia_May_Jonas @chelseagsummers @bykathywang @winniemli TY for including NSFW! I also loved Vladimir by @Julia_May_Jonas. Will add: Sirens & Muses by Antonia Angress, Post-Traumatic by @chantalvjohnson, Little Rabbit by @anarasong, Disorientation by @elainehsiehchou (I’m noticing a theme! debuts about furious women who’ve had enough)

@TheBookMaven @writesloud Mona by Pola Oloixarac or Weather by Jenny Offill or The Guest by Emma Cline. Or…my novel NSFW might check some of these boxes?

Wishing a HAPPY pub day to @alisonbhart, whose novel THE WORK WIFE is out today. If you like nuanced stories of female ambition and complicity, this is one for you.

This is a big pub day for excellent debuts - in particular Tess Gunty's THE RABBIT HUTCH and ACCEPTANCE by @eminietfeld - can't recommend these enough!

“Sometimes I wonder if the purpose of my writing is to find out whether other people have done or felt the same things or, if not, for them to consider experiencing such things as normal.” - Annie Ernaux, Simple Passion @7StoriesPress https://t.co/D5XpmlgSgf

I’m reading Vivian Gornick’s The Odd Woman and the City. I read Fierce Attachments in early pandemic and it prompted one of those “how hadn’t I read her before?!/I can’t wait to read everything she’s ever published.” https://t.co/MRDY9cf7XJ
