@_KANielsen_ For me, it really depends on the moment...where I am in a project, where I am in my life, etc (as opposed to a more general list). But 2 books that gave me this feeling recently are Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore's The Freezer Door and Roberto Bolaño's 2666.

Wonderful interview with Raven Leilani & very excited to read LUSTER: "You talk to other writers and they’re sort of dogged by this specter of ‘I’m not making anything,’ she said, 'but for most of us, that’s the reality of making art, is not making it.” https://t.co/uSsmPeDrtZ

We Had to Remove This Post

Hanna Bervoets
Laura van den BergLaura van den Berg

Hanna Bervoets’s slim, potent new novel, “We Had to Remove This Post,” appears at first to be the story of a tech workplace gone terribly awry, but it quickly shape-shifts into something more surprising and enigmatic.
