@John__Phipps As an addendum, was just thinking of Mating earlier today while reading a very different book, Catherine Lacey's forthcoming Biography of X: A Novel. Some common ground in its lyricism, scrutiny of relationships, and sheer intelligence.

@wife_geist @natalie_morrill Yes--I learned so much about her via Julia Fine's excellent novel The Upstairs House.

@mdbell79 @Lvandenberg Reading that sentence is like being a triangle encountering a sphere in Edwin Abbott's Flatland.

@leorobsonwriter @mervatim @_ryanruby_ @MortenHoiJensen @draftjournal Also, the new Ferrante book (translated by Ann Goldstein) In the Margins: On the Pleasures of Reading and Writing traces the shift from her earlier novels to the Neapolitan series through her encounters with Gertrude Stein, Adriana Cavarero, etc.

@allegra_hyde To this illustrious list, I'd add the endings of Rebecca Makkai's "Good Saint Anthony Come Around" and Edward P. Jones's "Old Boys, Old Girls."

@dan_sinykin Would suggest one of Daniel Torday's novels and Sara Lippmann's Lech.

I asked ChatGPT to write a Calvino story in the style of Cosmicomics, and it basically wrote the "Carbon" chapter from Primo Levi's The Periodic Table. https://t.co/KZqD9Y0nCC

@Chloe_Chun While not a novel, Nafissa Thompson-Spires's Heads of the Colored People features the recurring character Fatima in a trio of stories: an epistolary story in which she factors but has no pov, one in her 1st person pov, and one in a close third that at times feels omniscient.
