American Buffalo

Beautiful World, Where Are You
Sally RooneyKurt AndersenI’m eager to read this. BTW, coming a year after Sally Rooney’s “Beautiful World, Where Are You,” another novel about the consequences of a young female novelist writing a juggernaut book, it’s another piece of evidence for our suspiciously simulation-like Groundhog Day era. https://t.co/MssVszY2Qw
