I know I arrived late to the party but OMG I love this book… history, multi-generational themes of the immigrant family, love and loss… like could it get any better? It’s been 5 days and I’m halfway done already. Big plot twist happened and I was like😟 Also reading Middlemarch that Min Jin Lee coincidentally said was her favorite book in a recent interview…on my Min Jin Lee grind.

The first book in a looooong time that I literally couldn’t put down. I would spend entire days reading, like back in high school. So good.

This book is so good!!! just started it last night and now im almost done with it !!!
It was the last book katherine min wrote before she died!!!
It’s a genius book that follows the story of three people :
- Kyoko a japanese american punk rock singer who is grieving her mom’s death ;
- Daniel a violinist who is faced with confronting his past & many relationships;
- and Alma, the love of daniel’s life, a korean american cello prodigy , who at the end of her life ponders over if she was ever truly loved.
insane and beautiful and honest and hilarious

not really a rec but i just watched fantastic mr. fox (2009) and ash and his father are such great representations of the spectrum that is neurodiversity. i’m not sure if wes anderson intended to make his characters present characteristics of asd or adhd, but even if he didn’t, i felt incredibly impacted by this story, and i know that the neurodiverse community has found solace in this movie for YEARS.

three standouts for me: ‘right place, wrong person’ by rm, ‘mutt’ by leon thomas, and ‘two star and the dream police’ by mk.gee. amazing experimental albums.
