stumbled upon this brick this weekend at the used bookstore and picked it up on a whim and today began to read it on a whim and now I can't put it down why aren't more people talking about this book

who would’ve thought the relationship between a writer and her housekeeper would make for the greatest, most heartbreaking story of love, betrayal and regret literature has ever seen? and if the deeper the love, and the more ruinous the fall, do we truly ever know one another?

Nothing prepares you for how delightfully strange the Mabinogion is. There is a woman made of flowers, a cauldron that can revive the dead, a giant claw that steals horses, an underworld of feasts & hunting. Anyone with an interest in the roots of fantasy fiction must read it.

I’m interested in “Bad” Mothers & found this book “The Abandoners: On Mothers and Monsters” by Begonia Gómez Urzaiz in my local library. I didn’t know that Muriel Sparks & Doris Lessing abandoned their children. It’s a complex & nuanced take on the subject.

Reading this because a random person on Substack was raving about it.

Every now and then you read a book that reminds you of what reading was like when you were a kid and there was an endless array of amazing YA books. You’d pick one up and be immediately drawn into it. Who ARE these people? What is their deal? Their conflict was immediately apparent and compelling. That’s what this one feels like, almost like Roald Dahl for adults.

I also (slight spoiler) had that disconcerting feeling of randomly looking at the copyright page after I was a few chapters in and discovering it was written in 1939!
I’d thought it was contemporary!

Recommend!

A woman at the post office was so thrilled to see me reading Briggs’ Encyclopaedia of Fairies that she asked to snap a photo. This book is a jewel of my collection, sublime in its weirdness & horrors. Susanna Clarke says it’s the primary reference for the lore in her books.
