I listened to this one. The actual genius that Catherine Lacey is. This was the second novel of hers that I‘ve read, the first being Pew. Both books make me think a ton about how I perceive myself, but Biography of X in particular makes me want to explode or something idk. Self mythology. Theme of the year. Who am I? idk. The end.

Really inventive book that left me with Ferrante levels of excitement to come home from work and read. It‘s about the widow of an enigmatic artist, who spends years after her wife’s death trying to piece together her mysterious background and write her biography. It’s set in an alternative version of the US where the South had “disunified” from the rest of the country. Those elements of the book were fascinating, though occasionally a bit gimmicky. The format is very creative and experimental, and not to the detriment of the plot.

Brand new single from Mk.gee. Same vibes as the album from earlier this year. It sounds like driving alone at night and feeling your feelings. He’s on tour and I’m seeing him next Friday. Link to song here.

I would add bananas too, as a magical trio. Toast some bread and slap these together and feel the love.
