Catching up again with my best books for each month...
Sept - Theory & Practice. A literary scholar's attempt to reconcile theory and practice. I'm a sucker for a literary scholar protagonist. 🤷
Oct - The Dream of a Common Language. My only collection of poetry. But why did it take me so long to read Rich?
Nov - The Scenic Route. THIS is how you do multiple timelines! Brilliant!

TheEllieMo Some great choices; I particularly like the sound of The Scenic Route 1w

Zikora | Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

pick

Zikora is a powerful and intimate short story about motherhood, heartbreak, and female friendship. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie captures the emotional and physical reality of childbirth with raw honesty, while gently exploring abandonment and resilience. Despite its brevity, the story carries deep emotional weight and leaves a lasting impression about resilience and love.

Theory & Practice | Michelle De Kretser

pick

25-7 Oct 25 (audiobook)
I think I expected more; only a soft pick for me and possibly only because having come through the English department at Melbourne Uni a little less than a decade later, it felt very familiar. For me, this was a cross between Helen Garner‘s diaries and Miranda Darling‘s Thunderhead (as an example of a fictional work that engaged with Virginia Woolf) but not as compelling as either. Not sure what else was up for the Stella?
