Things to Make and Break
Things to Make and Break | May-Lan Tan
2 posts | 3 read | 2 reading | 7 to read
SHORTLISTED FOR THE GUARDIAN FIRST BOOK AWARD A motorcycle courier finds a cache of nude photos in her boyfriend's desk. The daughter of East German emigrants encounters her doppelgnger, who has crossed another cultural divide. Twin brothers fall for the same girl. When a stripper receives an enigmatic proposal from a client, she accepts, ignorant of its terms. Shadows, doubles, and the ghosts of past and future lovers haunt these elegantly structured and often hallucinatory stories. The language is hypnotic, deadpan, intense; the sentences jewel-hard and sublime. Things to Make and Break is the work of a stylish, exuberant new voice in modern fiction. 'Quite dazzling' TLS

This year I decided to push myself a bit more than normal and read 60 books. I am very proud to say that I manage to do it! Probably I will not read so many next year but I am happy that manage to do it. #readingchallenge
