#NYRBBookClub why didn‘t I take more notice when @sisilia reviewed “In Love “2 years ago?🤔I have noticed since the article in the 3/25/2021 edition of the New York Review of Books is written by one of my favorite writers, Vivian Gornick! Just another TBR implosion.🙄😃

sisilia Aww that was a quick read 🤗 4y
Leftcoastzen @sisilia I‘m going to open my boxes of vintage paperbacks, I bet I have some by him & I don‘t even know it. 4y

I rarely touch books about love. They make me cringe and roll my eyes incessantly. I did the same with this novella. It reminds me of THE break-up with my ex. It was hard to let go (because what if I hurt him so much?), and when I decided to let go, he went nuts that he started stalking me. Yikes! Alfred Hayes wonderfully packed the longing and the sadness in just 130 pages. Don‘t mind my eye-rolling moments; it‘s one beautiful book.

minkyb Oh wow. Creepy. 6y
sisilia @minkyb Yes, and silly 😆 It seems funny now when I look back, how immature the whole stalking was.... but I was pretty scared at that time 6y
minkyb Never silly...glad you dumped him!🤭 6y

"The whole point is that nothing can save us but a good fall. Don't you agree? A great fall, that's what we need."

Just started this. Good reading for a strange hotel room in a big city.
