pickReminiscences of people and places, a plotless novel about the past's presence. Reminded me a bit of Rachel Cusk's Outline trilogy: how a woman writes her life by writing about everything except herself.
Which is to say I liked it. 😏 And I look forward to discussing (defending?) it soon!

youneverarrived 😂 this is going to be an interesting discussion. You‘ve made it sound right up my street. After seeing people bail I was a bit apprehensive. I‘m only just starting it now. 5y
Suet624 Good review considering what we have to work with this month! 😂😂 5y
merelybookish @batsy Have you started it yet? Curious what you think! 5y
merelybookish @youneverarrived I understand! I have a thing for plotless novels and experimental writing by women so kind of fits my wheelhouse. 5y
merelybookish @Suet624 Thanks! 🙂 I take it you didn't love it? 5y
batsy I hope to start tonight or tomorrow! I loved her book of essays, Seduction and Betrayal, so I have high hopes for this one! 5y
merelybookish @batsy It makes sense she is an essayist. In many ways this feels more memoir than novel. 5y
vivastory Great review. I only read the first book of Cusk's trilogy, but I really enjoyed it. Looking forward to driving in & discussing. 5y
LeahBergen I have #BailersGuilt 😂😂 5y

merelybookish @vivastory Thanks! This discussion should be fun! 5y
merelybookish @LeahBergen I'm sorry! You shouldn't! And I shouldn't have shamed you. Especially since there's a good chance I will bail on![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

The OtherLeahBergen @merelybookish Oh, there was no shaming at all! I‘m heartily enjoying the different takes on this book as most of our group‘s previous selections were all universally liked. And who knows? I may hate my own pick next month. 😆😆 5y

Suet624 I actually do like it but it‘s an odd one, for sure. 5y
BarbaraBB Looking forward to our discussion! 5y
