Wow - memory lane - that book was one of my favorite reads back when it was published - not sure how I would feel about it today. And this post also caused bad flashbacks to The Goldfinch…
I was so excited about this until the reminder that it was written by the same author as the Goldfinch. I still harbor active anger about the time I can't get back powering through in the trust that self-indulgent over wrought and over written book would get better... and it never did. (I'll tell you later what I really think!) But I trust you (and tbh opened my email just now *specifically* to get a book rec) so I'm starting The Secret History this afternoon. I'll circle back.
