Birthday | 
pickAira's novella, a meditation on his 50th birthday, was pub. by the indispensable New Directions 3 years ago. Birthday begins with Aira musing on his birthday & somewhat humorously admitting his ignorance over an astronomical fact. In short chapters he writes of strangers, the reading life, literature, the law of diminishing returns, modern politics & more. Aira's discursive style is intriguing & imbued with a sense of humility & slight zany humor

Here's to 43 π·ππ· The past year was filled with personal loss & social uncertainty. When I reflect on past years I can always rely on books read as distinct milestones & this seems especially true in the mind fog of the pandemic. Needless to say 42 was a shit show. Hopeful for a good upcoming year.
Happy birthday @Judybskt ! The Birthday Fairies are so excited to celebrate with you and send you buckets of #birthdaylove!
