I saw it being compared to A Girl Is a Half-formed Thing by Eimear McBride and but I think McBride is a superior writer and that that is a far better book.
Finished reading this. I didn’t like it. I thought it was brilliantly written and clever but it didn’t move the deepest recesses of my soul which is what I was hoping for. What I expect the best of books to do.

1. Some manuscripts have real character.
They are often not the smartest, shiniest manuscripts, but rather the ones that have seen things. The manuscripts that have really been used (and abused). Today I spent the day with a very charismatic manuscript at the NLS, Edinburgh...🧵

Emily Dickinson’s Herbarium: A Forgotten Treasure at the Intersection of Science and Poetry
An elegy for time and the mortality of beauty, composed with passionate patience and a sensuous cadence.

I had to promise my family not to mention the E word (E-S-S-A-Y) after my full-on hysteria while waiting for my grade in last week. When there was the tech glitch and it said “unmarked” I emailed my professor and actually asked if the essay was so bad that it couldn’t be graded…. 😬
