It's Little Reviews time, and today we're talking about dissonance — you know, that feeling of dissolution from the self; from memories; even from reality. I've got three books on the roll today:
- The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa (trans. Stephen Snyder)
- The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts by Maxine Hong Kingston, our ABC pick for May (including a reference to The Tiger's Wife, which I reviewed in S02:E18 | Books Like a Surrealist Fable (feat. Téa Obreht & Ruth Ozeki))
- Second Place by Rachel Cusk, which I mentioned in S02:E12 | The Critical Conceit: Divine Creativity, Compliment Sandwiches, & September ABC Picks
A NOTE ON CONTENT & SPOILERS
I highly encourage you to look into content warnings for every book I discuss before you pick it up; we want reading to be safe for everyone. <3
I refuse to spoil plot, but I do talk about what you can glean from the book jacket, authorial and narrative choices, formal elements, and my overall impressions and takeaways. If you're wary of getting spoiled on *anything,* then maybe bookmark this episode and come back when you've read the books herein.
Take care, keep creating, and stay divine!
