if you love intergenerational family stories, then i cant recommend this one enough!! Disoriental by Négar Djavadi (translated from the french by Tina Kover) is set in iran but also france, and is told in such a compelling and self-aware way. read the first chapter of this and i promise you will not want to stop reading. 👌 (full review of this is on my blog - link in my bio!)
love me a good novella. this was such a thought-provoking and engaging story about money and social mobility and family.
another one of my fav novels from last year. this novel needs no introduction. ive never read anything like it and honestly i doubt if i ever will. cant wait to read the rest of anna burns's backlist!!
one of my favourite nonfiction reads of 2020: The Terrible by Yrsa Daley Ward. The audiobook of this was absolutely beautiful, so powerfully performed by Yrsa Daley Ward.
these are the only two faber short stories that ive read, but i loved them both!! Mr Salary is, of course, great--its Sally Rooney, so no surprise there. but Mostly Hero was such a delight!! i love Anna Burns's fun and inisightful parody of superheroes ☺
LISTEN. i am in love with this the design of this edition of Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata. the yellow? the pink? the fact that the whole name badge is laminated so that its glossy? just 10/10.
