Welcome to Litsy!

I picked this— another prof I know where I work— for #ReadHarder #micropress and #bookaboutbooks. I liked some chapters more than others but overall this is a really beautiful book. The author processes her beloved father‘s untimely death through the lens of literature- Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Camus, Arthur Clarke, and (my favorite chapter) Raymond Chandler. It might inspire me to go read some science fiction.. not my usual genre!

“Wordlessly and without being asked, a city can give me all I need in a moment or a day—it can look into my eyes and measure my footfalls and know why I‘ve come. And I figure that in these places, I‘m more likely than anywhere else to cross paths with myself.” 📷 from a rainy day this week.
