Did you know that American civil rights activists first imported the term "ghetto" to point out the injustices faced by residents of inner-city areas segregated by race?

You marry a writer.

Worse, a memoirist. All is well until you divorce, un-amicably.

"A vulgar, sad little book" wrote the
@spectator in 1955.

'Bonjour Tristesse', published 1954, was an overnight sensation in France. But its English translation, not renewed until 2014, was grossly inaccurate.

The reason? Patriarchy.

Style requires substance.
The problem with Carmen Maria Machado's trendy memoir 'In the Dream House', is that it lacks the latter.

Read @lucy_rmm's brilliant piece 'Dream House As Review' for how exactly 'In the Dream House' fails its readers.

Love the phrase “burns under their fingernails”

[Morocco Bound Books & Beers @BookshopBound]

“if hundreds of thousands of people reach out for a book whose very title promises to deal with the question of a meaning to life, it must be a question that burns under their fingernails” - Viktor E Frankl on why his book Man’s Search For Meaning had sold so successfully
