Nice review. This is a skip for me. I am not a fan of memoir as I find them self-indulgent, so even though she sort of calls herself out, I have other things I would rather read. Stay cool this week!
I love this write-up. I had to race out of Greenlight that night to relieve the babysitter (heh) but please flag me down next time we cross paths—would love to chat Iris Murdoch and everything else.
Starting this today. Looking forward to it
Thanks, Marc! Enjoy!

Thanks, Kate! Yeah, it looks like it's going to be an awful week. Not looking forward to the subway, the sweat and the smells lol. Keep cool!
Very thorough and informative review! Not sure it’s for me but loved hearing your take.
Thanks for reading, Jaymi!

Thank you so much, Molly! Will do! Excited to hear your thoughts on Iris! Congrats on the great event at Greenlight. It was so packed!
my husband is very upset I don’t thank our cat in my acknowledgements
What's the cat's name?! You gotta shout out the cat in your next book, Leigh!
His name is Desmond (after the character on Lost)
DESMOND!!
I loved the acknowledgements and all the literary name dropping throughout the memoir portion. I guess if CL comes knocking, you gotta open up!
Ha! I was describing this book to someone who said it sounded like ‘Liars’ by Manguso and I was like I think she’s in here lol!
Great review, as usual! 😎 Hmm, but i don't know if it's for me, even though the double style format intrigues me. 🤔
Thanks Nicole! It really is a feat of form. I wonder if we will see other authors try it.
Oh my god that gif <3
Thanks for creating it! It’s perfect!!
