Some highly anticipated library orders of mine came in. I can’t believe Quiet Dawn hasn’t been discussed much online since it just released. Just look at that opening.

Quiet Dawn by Jean-Claude Fignolé and translated by Kaiama L. Glover and Laurent Dubois. The Descent of Alette by Alice Notley. We Are Green and Trembling by Gabriela Cabezón Camara and translated by Robin Myers. Capitalist Realism by Mark Fisher.

Moving entails boxes of books, empty shelves, and a good long novel to see me through.

Absolutely engrossed in Oğuz Atay. Had to read this spread several times.

Beautiful book mail from New Directions 😍 Glad to see Schoolgirl, one of Dazai’s best stories, is included in No One Knows.

Hoping to spend much of next year completing and thinking through the work of Mishima, Dazai, & Tsushima. All three share an emotional landscape within me. Currently loving the gentleness in The Sound of Waves.
