This book wrecks you. It wrecked me.

First, it's a Holocaust story. I'm an idiot: I didn't realize this, despite the "SS" being on the cover. I got it because it purported to be a novel named "Trieste" (a city near where my family is from), taking pl

briz and 16 other people liked Sasha's review of A Farewell to Arms:
A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway
"For all that Hemingway's reputation is Mr. Tough Guy, his protagonist is basically flowers and sonnets all through this. "Ooh, I'm so tough about escaping from dudes who want to shoot me but now I will moon over my girlfriend for like ten pages." He'" Read more of this review »

briz and 114 other people liked Violet wells's review of Trieste:
Trieste by Daša Drndić
" “She has always been somehow weightless, free of the heavy burden of mother tongues, national histories, native soils, homelands, fatherlands, myths, that many of the people around her tote on their backs like a sack of red-hot stones.”

“We Americans are interested only in the consumption of our products. We have no interest in how they are produced, or what happens to them once we discard them, once we throw them away.”
M. T. Anderson, Feed

Yaa Gyasi
“The need to call this thing “good” and this thing “bad,” this thing “white” and this thing “black,” was an impulse that Effia did not understand. In her village, everything was everything. Everything bore the weight of everything else.”
Yaa Gyasi, Homegoing

Maurice Sendak
“Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. I loved it. I answer all my children’s letters — sometimes very hastily — but this one I lingered over. I sent him a card and I drew a picture of a Wild Thing on it. I wrote, “Dear Jim: I loved your card.” Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said, “Jim loved your card so much he ate it.” That to me was one of the highest compliments I’ve ever received. He didn’t care that it was an original Maurice Sendak drawing or anything. He saw it, he loved it, he ate it.”
Maurice Sendak
