The Every: A Novel | Dave Eggers

Mehso-so

Meh. This felt not so different from The Circle, just more of cyber-corporations getting more ludicrous and digging roots further into every aspect of humanity. It‘s a tense read, funny and scary at the same time because it‘s easy to see the parallel with reality.

I‘d definitely say #borrowdontbuy but also I wouldn‘t say you‘d miss much if you skip it.

1. There have been some interesting answers to this question. For my part, I think it‘s possible for a book to define a generation, a Strong Sense of Time, if you will, but keeping in mind that no decade or generation is any one thing. That being said…
2. With the caveat that I haven‘t read it * I suggest the tagged book for the 1980s. The rise of investment bankers and various derivatives, etc. etc.

Susanita I read the first several chapters in serial form in Ladies Home Journal and was intrigued, but I never got around to reading the book (or seeing the movie) at the time. I do have the brick of a paperback on my TBR shelf for reading “some day.” 1h

Sethe is a runaway slave. Having sent her 3 kids before her, the youngest still breastfeeding, she gives birth to another daughter during her escape. A few months after reuniting with her family they find her, when she sees the dreaded white man approaching to capture them she kills one of her babies and tries to kill her other children to spare them the life of slavery. Years later the ghost of her daughter comes back in physical form and ⬇️

nanuska_153 continues haunting the house. Through flashbacks we see what the different characters suffered during slavery and how those experiences continued to affect them when they were free. The writing is absolutely mesmerising, couldn't recommend this book enough. 3h

Spending a bit of time in the verse. Airport reading.
