Welcome to Litsy!

I got up early to try to get some reading done but only got about 3 pages before the hubby got up, too, and started chatting. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

This was a pan for me because of the lack of images (Libby never has the accompanying images etc…) things got easily confusing. I look forward to finding more Anishinaabeg stories.

Here, we have our reading list for 2025. It's a good mix of her novels, short stories, esays, and biography. I'll tag them all in the comments for your perusal.

I can't wait to delve deeper into the world of Virginia Woolf. 📚📚📚

All are welcome to join us. Please let me know if you wish to be added/removed from the taglist.

The subtitle for this trio of vignettes is “stories of women and men.” Specifically, they are stories about denial, desire, and threat. Claire Keegan never misplaces a word. No detail can be overlooked. Take, for instance, this sentence in “Antarctica,” a twisted tale about the quest for simple pleasure: “The cat was watching her, his eyes as dark as apple seeds.”

Perfectly unsettling, all.

Content. 💞

I thought Hadley is not for me,then I listened to the most recent The New Yorker Fiction Podcast: Savaş reads& discusses Hadley‘s An Abduction & her thoughts on Hadley‘s writing, in particular what happens inside of her characters made me want to read her again. I picked up this short story collection & am still not getting the genius of After the funeral which I had first read in the New Yorker but I loved Old Friends, Mia & My mother‘s wedding.
