Welcome to Litsy!

A book about a murder portrayed as meaningless.
The emotional experience Camus delivers by refusing to provide an explanation for the murder perfectly reflects our struggle to cope with the complexities of life and our need to find a reason for evil. (Through the mechanism of projection, we try to locate the cause of evil outside of ourselves to make sense of the complex parts within.)
An emotionally fascinating journey.

The US occupied Iraq from 2003 to 2011 under the pretense that they they were saving the world from weapons of mass destruction. We know now that the US obliged the UN experts to do their dirty work and only when they were certain there was no nuclear weapons in Iraq, they unleashed their military onto the Iraqi population for 8 long years.

With its cast of characters, this examines what drives a man living in a bedouin town into a human bomb.

Long short stories. Not too good short stories.

Bro is freaky.
Probably his only book I like.

It‘s ok. I think I fell asleep a few times while reading, but can‘t honestly be sure. Very disorienting

Love it

A slow burn that is worth persevering with because it is both heartbreaking and beautiful. It is based on real events - a part of history that I knew nothing about- the kidnap of over 400 people from Iceland by barbery pirates. The FMC was a real woman, with a real story that has been fictionalised, but there are so many historical facts, that this is a powerful story ❣️
