i will recommend this until i'm blue in the face - atla's work isn't the easiest to locate, but once you find it, her work will consume you from the inside out. she captures the mundane, the extreme, and the degenerate, holding them all with the same care and examination. this is my second read, 4 years after the first, and atla is so vibrant still, reaching across time and culture and touching the rawest of human feelings. where would i be without her? how do i thank her adequately?
