@poeticdweller Why do fall leaves evoke such a vivid sense of heartache? I still remember walking over them, the light on them, onto the bus, in 8th grade with unreasonable intensity

I regret to inform the anti-Ben Lerner faction that his new novel is the best work of fiction I’ve read since Benjamin Labatut’s WHEN WE CEASE TO UNDERSTAND THE WORLD (2020). I’m honestly impressed.
