Katrina Gulliver Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Katrina Gulliver

Memoir/Essays: You Want Fries With That by @PrioleauAlexan1 - very funny account of self-reinvention by taking a range of different jobs. Fiction: Hangsaman by Shirley Jackson. Narrative ambiguities made it troubling and intriguing. 3/3

Since many of you are shopping for books as gifts this time of year, allow me to recommend the best books by women I've read this year (not all published this year!): Fiction: The Paragon Hotel by @LyndsayFaye The Heavens by @sannewman

6. Bringing Down the Colonel by Patricia Miller. Nonfiction. A 19th century sex scandal, where a jilted young woman took a powerful man to court - and withstood public shaming to get her case heard.

@laura11D Amy Chua's book World on Fire covers them quite a bit, how a small group of individuals ended up super rich.

@PstafarianPrice what are you looking for? funny? serious? (Casey Wilson's THE WRECKAGE OF MY PRESENCE is good if you like funny memoir).

I reviewed Alexandra Lange's Meet Me By the Fountain for @CityJournal https://www.city-journal.org/the-evolution-of-malls

Memoirs: Negroland by Margo Jefferson. Closely observed portrait of her childhood and community. Apparently there were Complaints by @sharongless. Witty and honest, and a great insight to life in Hollywood. 2/3

4. Life Among the Savages by Shirley Jackson. Memoir. If you only know her as a horror writer, you’ll be surprised by these funny stories of her life as a busy mother.

My turn to pick for book group and I chose THE CAT WHO SAVED BOOKS. It's sweet, not too long, and completely different to what I usually read.https://t.co/mPcdPADIji

@SimonMagus @_HelenDale @cheshiretoad @hollymathnerd @Tracinski @DisaffectedP @triggerpod The most interesting riff on Marx (and much more) was Berman's All That is Solid Melts into Air.
