@atreyu_atreyu This is majestic. I’ll definitely be there soon.

[Kahura @ArthurCohenKC1]

@atreyu_atreyu Great. I’ll try and go soon. The giraffes come out when it’s green.

@WaNjoguu @John83185785155 Can I reserve the 2 Updikea, the Markson, and the Lowry?

[Kahura @ArthurCohenKC1]

@CaliTenDay Some good writing but definitely not for me. Seems like the author made the characters intentionally unlikeable.

June reading wrap-up

[Kahura @ArthurCohenKC1]

The Caesars Palace Coup - Max Frumes and Sujeet Indap
4.5 stars.
Vivid description of the interplay between law and commerce. And how injunctions are likely to force parties to settle even where the final outcome is in doubt.

[Kahura @ArthurCohenKC1]

This Is Where the Serpent Lives - Daniyal Mueenuddin
4 stars.
A wonderful read. Life in rural Pakistan described almost as vividly as Turgenev and Tolstoy do to rural Russia.

[Stephanie Wambugu @snjeriwambugu]

My short story Jesus Was a Sailor appears in the first print issue of the wonderful @KismetMagazine its title is borrowed from my favorite song Leonard Cohen’s “Suzanne”. The story is about a “situationship,” the Gaza freedom flotilla & the way that politics reshape love lives

Fave books I’ve read this year so far

[Kahura @ArthurCohenKC1]

@nyamweyaJ @MyKenyaLaw Wonder how they have capacity for such when they removed the beautiful and helpful graphic in Murunga J’s judgement.

[Kahura @ArthurCohenKC1]

@CaxstonePKigata Please share this version. The one on Kenyalaw butchers the graphic

@WaNjoguu Hi. I’m interested in several but your inbox is closed.

[UNIDROIT @UNIDROITorg]

It is with infinite sorrow that UNIDROIT mourns the passing of Professor Sir Roy Goode CBE KC DCL FBA, one of the greatest jurists of our time, a towering figure of Commercial Law, and a cherished friend of the Institute for more than half a century. https://t.co/LU0nWc1HfY

Mortal Acts Mortal Words - Galway Kinnell
4 stars. Sobering and wonderful. New favorite poet.

Night Sky With Exit Wounds - Ocean Vuong
3.5 stars. Can’t stand his fiction but this was surprisingly good.

[Kahura @ArthurCohenKC1]

@joshuamalidzo Which case is this?

[nope @truhtnac]

Cather is extraordinarily good at describing landscape and the beautiful ritualism of Catholicism. Loving this.

[Kahura @ArthurCohenKC1]

@IndicaBadddu Where’s this? Would love to go through the piles of National Geographic up there.

A Manual for Cleaning Women - Lucia Berlin
4 stars.
Consistently delightful. Lovely how, at a certain point, the stories start to cohere. Also some of the rawest writing on alcoholism.

@W_Shadbolt Currently making my way through the Burton. It’s a slow read and long term project but really enjoyable.
