Hello! This is the second time I'm right on track with your reading history! Last time I too had just finished (and LOVED) Small Things, I listened and the audio was delightful. I think I'll listen to it every December. I also listened to Ghachar Ghochar, another short story filled with family drama and highly suggest! I very slowly savored Ross Gay's Inciting Joy and he mentioned Lynda Barry so I just picked up Syllabus and Menopause, A Comic Treatment at the library just yesterday! I am trying out a new to me author, Ariel Lawhon on recommendation from the podcast What Should I read Next. and I loved the witchy memoir of Hilarie Burton Morgan in Grimoire Girl. Happy Reading.
I'm so glad you were in the Map to Inspiration, Angela! Also, weirdly, I read that Gabrielle Zevin book this month too. I really loved it. She creates such incredibly deep and real and interesting characters. I almost want to go back and figure out how she made The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry such a quick read. It was a 2-day read for both Dave and I. How does she do it?
Love your analysis and the lessons you’ve learned from her interviews!
