panA Cup of Rage wasn't my cup of tea. It's a short, but tedious read: pretty much a long block of violent rage with no purpose.

Visiting all my favorite bookstores while in San Francisco for CODEX. So much literature in translation at City Lights, including this one that has moved to the top of my TBR pile...
What are your first reads of 2017? We're starting the year out with A CUP OF RAGE by Raduan Nassar (out Jan. 31st), with a side of essential understanding in the form of Arlie Russell Hochschild's STRANGERS IN THEIR OWN LAND. Chickpea brownies courtesy of Phaidon's THE KITCHEN SHELF (not pictured), and amazing mug courtesy of Crimson & Clover! (cameo of a big book we're eager for later this year in the background.)
My post-Thanksgiving book mail from Book Outlet just arrived. I might feel guilty if they weren't so cheap! (1/3)
"...incisive like her I knew the best way to bite with the teeth of ideas..."
