Migrations Subscription Box: Summer Edition! Very excited for all four of these--THE NIGHT, THE NIGHT looks wild, especially!

#books #book mail #migrations subscription box #migrations #subscription box #the night the night #rodrigo blanco calderon #away! away!#jana benova #city of windows #haifa zangana #ganbare! workshops on dying #katarzyna boni #love other people curating selections for me honestly #like i would not be drawn to these sections of the bookstore typically but they look Very Interesting #i'm actually pretty good about not impulse buying general fiction or nonfiction #which on the one hand is nice on my wallet but on the other hand means i don't read as widely as i could in most genres lol #i was better about semi impulse buying things outside my Typical Genres when i worked at HPB because i'd see cool shit and i'd stash it #do some research and buy them for Very Few Dollars lol #i don't usually do that in new bookstores (i sprint for SFF and horror) but i do love books in translation #babel do NOT @ me rn lmao

I liked this one! After I finished it, I looked up reviews, and apparently it is both "postmodern" and "absurdist," and I feel like that explains uh. All lol.

It was written (mostly) as prose but structured with a lot of white space/line breaking like poetry, and I had almost no idea what was going on for big chunks of it, but!: Parts of it were fucking hilarious, and the meditations on Working As An Adult resonated sharply. Definitely something to chew on slowly in tiny bites (even though the whole book is a whopping 99 pages). I'm glad I took it slow, and if I reread it I'll definitely be armed with flaggy tabs to mark the Most Relatable Lines!
