Anora had me reflecting on certain preconceptions about my family and questioning whether my grandmother had won in the end, unlike the protagonist of the movie, having a vindication for herself.
this novel healed me from my reading slump, I wrote about it in depth this week and linked it but I cannot stop thinking about it. sisterhood, midwest, how it feels to be a girl in the world, yearning, Doritos. recommend!!!
short, sweet, funny, thought provoking. basically, a bored housewife in 1960s california finds out her rich ex boyfriend named her as the executor of his estate in his will. what follows is sometimes funny, sometimes strange, always deeply interesting, as oedipa becomes obsessed with a possible conspiracy involving postage stamps. i'm making myself want to read it again lowkey
