Adore Zadie Smith! Her interviews are formally invited to score my life. So much wit and wisdom, just like her writing.
I devoured 'Cleopatra and Frankenstein' but (this is dumb..bear with me...) Coco Mellors’ social media presence feels like watching your therapist moonlight as an influencer. I can't unsee it! Two very different vibes? Just me?? Listen, maybe the woman contains multitudes!! And I love her style (writing and sartorial). I’ll absolutely be picking this one up—it feels like the perfect January read. Moody. Reflective. Slightly dehydrated (more me than the book).
Added 'Say Nothing' to cart! I was *this* close to starting the show, but then Housewives beckoned, and I, too, contain multitudes.
As for C*lleen H*over… I can't do it. I will not. I draw the line firmly at Taylor Jenkins Reid. Also, "I realized that reading C*lleen H**ver after Patrick Radden Keefe would be like eating a chicken nugget right after a meal at Noma" sent me to Mars thank you!
Zadie <3 I agree, her interviews are a tonic for the soul.
I have to admit I haven't seen Coco Mellors' social media at all. Now I'm morbidly curious and want to look... but also, don't want to look and ruin my perception of her as a writer, lol. You're totally right that Blue Sisters would be a great Jan read (especially if you're doing dry Jan). Stay hydrated and enjoy! I also hope you like Say Nothing. Thank GOD for the Housewives saving you from spoilers before you read the book! Bless.
Lastly good for you re: C*Ho. I read one of her books (knowing zero about her rep and what I was in for) and boy it was truly something.
It's really not that bad! She's just very sunny and sweet and earnest compared to the writing and subject matter she covers lol. Listen, we all have to do jazz hands to promote our work. I respect the hustle!
What a stellar reading month.
