I am so glad you liked Trust as much as I did. I have his first book on my shelf and hope to get to it soon. He is such a talented writer (and nice to meet in person if you ever get the chance). Happy Sunday!!

Intrigued by Trust, and I’m so happy you shared the article about Meg White! Just read and loved it ~ what a legacy.

Thanks, Katy! I’m glad you enjoyed the article about Meg. I miss her and the White Stripes, but I hope she’s happy and doing well!

I knew I would need a good book to turn to post-Succession, and this sounds like it. Thank you for reviewing it!

Thanks, friend! It was lousy, but not as bad as the first time. Back to normal now. Hope all is well with you!

Yayyy. I'm so glad you liked it. I also love the phrase "polyphonic novel."

In the Distance is my current read. I am so in love with the book that I had to go down the rabbit hole of my google chrome history to figure out who recommended it to me. Thank you for writing about it in the Dense Discovery newsletter. I will be reading more of your recommendations in the future.
