Special Needs
Lada Vukic
@elizmccracken Special Needs by Lada Vukic from @Istros_books has a strong narrative voice. The protagonist’s exact disability is not named and he has a somewhat magical hearing capacity, but having worked with clients with intellectual and cognitive disabilities for many years I was impressed.

A Sorrow Beyond Dreams: A Life Story
Peter Handke
I'm presently reading this book, a novel written as her husband was dying of cancer. It brings to mind other works of immediate grief, like Handke's A Sorrow Beyond Dreams, or Barthes' Mourning Diary. As I read I can't help thinking about how fiction is mediating the pain. https://t.co/Eylj39sUO9

December
Alexander Kluge
@morbid_swither @TravelStoriesYT @seagullbooks I've read a number of his books, two collaborations with Gerhard Richter (December and Dispatches from Moments of Calm) are particular favourites. His work had a significant influence on Sebald.
