After being abandoned and blocked up for at least 30 years, one of the townhouses on our block is finally being renovated. They've added floors and today unblocked the front door. It helped that the sun was bright and the humidity dropped, which altogether added up to a forecast of optimism.

| This book about a quasi-love affair between a (female) filmmaker/art critic and a (male) Cal Arts professor annihilates everything in its path, but mostly the idea that art/literature is intellectually owned by straight white guys. | |

| I thought this one wandered a bit at the end, particularly as the narrator wraps up his Cambridge experience, but I could read Adam Mars-Jones forever. He writes with a rare combination of empathy, intellect, and gay sensibility. Can't wait for the t...more | |

| For whatever reason I had never read this one, and whatever, I'm not going to pretend to "review" Toni Morrison, except to say that the book is painful, beautiful, and haunting. A book everyone should read. | |

| Zippermouth is the sad/hilarious story of a woman in 1990s (I think) NYC who's in love with another (mostly straight) woman, who does a ton of drugs, hates her stupid job/s (but in not-at-all depressing ways). Tons of LOLs interspersed with some achi...more | |

“No matter how hard life gets, we only get one chance, which is why we owe it to ourselves to make the best of it, for as long as we have.”
― Matthew Gallaway, The Metropolis Case

“As much as we like to think we grieve for others, she said, it bears keeping in mind that we are also grieving for ourselves and, above all, what has inevitably passed us by.”

“I'm sorry," Leo murmured and then seemed to look through Martin for a few seconds before he returned his gaze to him. "Although if it's any comfort - and please don't take this the wrong way, because I speak from my own perspective, which I understand often places me far outside of the norm - I sometimes like to think that death, at least in the case of those we truly love, allows us to appreciate what they have done for us in ways that are not possible when we're all here, constantly changing and fixated on how to get from one day to the next. Death offers us the chance to reflect on who they were, which of course is a way to understand ourselves. As painful as it can be to see them go - and I don't mean to diminish the sense of loss or grief we all feel - there is also no greater gift.”
