Ben Lerner

Was hoping the next Lerner would be a meaty one like Topeka School but for being so slim at 130 pages this packs a lot: time, memory, smart phones. Brilliant book, loved it.

Sleepless Nights
Elizabeth Hardwick

A reread after many years. As good as remembered. Trying to describe it to friends and failing. Plot not welcome here.

Loved and Missed
Susie Boyt

Still catching up with the best of 2021. Brilliant and sad. How can you love someone who wont let themselves be loved? A emotional portrait of addiction. Boyt can write.

I was lyin' in a burned-out basement
With a full moon in my eyes
I was hopin' for replacement
When the sun burst through the sky
There was a band playin' in my head
And I felt like getting high
I was thinkin' about what a friend had said
I was hopin' it was a lie

Perfection
Vincenzo Latronico

A scathing portrait of two empty lives lived online for likes and comments. The characters, a couple, are stand-ins for contemporary lives. For me it was hard to move past the author’s contempt for his own characters-this is not the great novel about online existence.

Every One Still Here

Outstanding short fiction from a pseudonymous Northern Irish writer that while not set during the Troubles deals with the aftermath of the Troubles. Some powerful stories among these.
