What Fiction are you reading this week, March 23, 2025? [View all]
Happy spring
Still reading Creation Lake by Rachel Kushner, a book that turns out to be not what it first seemed to be. That's not a bad thing, just surprising. And looong.
Listening to A Spool of Blue Thread by Anne Tyler. "A novel to cherish." A story in praise of family in all its emotional complexity. Four generations of Whitshanks, their lives unfolding in and around their sprawling, lovingly worn Baltimore house. Good reading.
"Whatever the cost of our libraries, the price is cheap compared to that of an ignorant nation.' --Walter Cronkite
