Books Read in January 2024
Such a strong month!
Arboreality by Rebecca Campbell
Absolutely depressing as fuck novella that images what the future holds for humans as we adjust to climate change. It does have an uplifting vibe but man the future is bleak.
Study in Obedience by Sarah Bernstein
Didn't quite gel with this one but it's a weird and menacing little book and one of the most interesting Giller winners that I've read.
The Beguiled by Thomas Cullinan
A study in unreliable narrators. Much more complex and interesting than Coppola's adaptation. A beautiful read.
Poor Things by Alisdair Gray
Everything I love in fiction. Meta fiction, neo victorianism, examination of gender, stylistic playfulness, and scifi. Loved it.
Ordinary Human Failings by Megan Nolan
One of those books about the banality of life that cuts deep. Nolan is one to watch out for.
