pickAn odd format, described as a novel but containing much biography and thoughts on the life of a writer. Thoroughly enjoyable mostly but the literary critical segments sometimes get a little convoluted. Definite pick though.

What happens when a Canadian who loves smaller press and translated fiction hits London, finds used books by the Thames, goes to Brick Lane Books *and* Blackwell‘s in Oxford? This happens (oh, and I still have Daunt Books and Hatchards before we leave). And even better? Three of them are signed editions!
“I wondered if the past rudely visited me, ghostly, uninvited,
or if I walked backwards, uninvited, to haunt it?“
pickThis is a book that hit the right note for me. A short volume, in reprint, it js written as a series of letters from the narrator to an unnamed friend describing her predicament. Her husband has left her, leaving her in an expensive apartment in New York with their daughter and her teenage stepdaughter that she despises. Blackwood does not shy away from making her main character‘s thoughts and actions morally reprehensible. More in comments ⬇️
pickA couple of the first writings in this collection covers Collette and Lee Miller, and I knew I was going to love this one. She also covers other women and some men, but also looks at different parts of her own life
