I know I praised usamericans for their delightful breakfast-themed paintings, but let me say that miss Jane Dunn Børresen, hailing from Norway, has it utterly on lock.

I’m obsessed with clashing and mismatched patterns and maximalist fabrics actually, so sick of matching bland minimalism.

Dried Flowers by Wildfco

What did you think of the corrections by Franzen? I saw it on a shelf in my college library and got really excited!!!

i liked it. quite a lot actually. i thought it was very well-done in its set up and saying everything he wanted to say. it takes a bit of patience to get into things, but i really think it’s worth the work. it’s also made special by circumstance, right, because it was put together and published right before 9/11 and everything that came later. the book represents such an important fulcrum also because of what franzen has always tried doing with sort of ‘literary fiction’ and ‘popular fiction’.

the tl;dr is that i would definitely recommend the book.

MARCH, SORT OF — Last month I was tired and busy, and didn’t make proper reviews, sorry! I’m saving my T. E. Lawrence ones for later, so to pre-emptively avoid future self-repetition, here are just my other two books from March:

Thus Spake Zarathustra, Friedrich Nietzsche — it feels silly to review something so famous, and therefore all I really want to say is that I liked it, thought it was very clearly expressed, and that I now see why people say Nietzsche is the best prose writer of the philsophers. I even liked the parts about the will to power, it seems clear to me that something so autotelic as the applied desire of self-mastery is incompatible with fascism (it’s just that the fascists haven’t noticed that). But then with the Übermensch stuff, it’s only useful or worthwhile if you very generously develop it away from what Nietzsche actually thought (he thought that the Übermensch could be personified in a discrete figure for some reason?). Probably the most valuable* thing in this book, for me, was the discovery that idea of Eternal Recurrence / Ewige Wiederkunft was in Nietzsche’s work much longer ago than I had realised the idea existed. *I nearly wrote “most useful”, but honestly it’s not useful at all, is it? it’s scarcely tethered to reality. cool though!

The Schopenhauer Cure, Irvin D. Yalom — a logical choice after reading Zarathustra, I guess! This was kindly recommended to me by a friend [hi Vi :) ], and I found it really enjoyable. The structure, alternating between A. the narrative about a psychologist and his former client / acquaintance / new group therapy member, and how their intellectual relationship wavers back and forth somewhere between the poles of antagonism and mutual assistance, and B. a long-form essay about Schopenhauer’s life and philosophy, was unusual and interesting. my first US American book of this year, and worth reading!

.

I also read Seven Pillars of Wisdom by T. E. Lawrence, 1.75 times, and 2.5 books about T. E. Lawrence — — The Wounded Spirit by Jeffrey Meyer; T. E. Lawrence By His Friends, ed. A. W. Lawrence; and a few essays from T. E. Lawrence: Soldier, Writer, Legend, also by Meyers. I will review at a later date!

April reviews to follow momentarily! <3
