gut wrenching

interpreter of maladies - a few pages in i recalled that i read this in senior year of high school in ms othmans class. i remember annotating it & answering questions about it and i remember exactly who was in my group. i remember how unsettled we all were by the story, how we all kind of looked at each other and laughed a short laugh of surprise and confusion. the weird monkey story. i enjoyed it more this time

when mr pirzada came to dine - the writing & character building in this collection is incredible. great stuff. i want a piece of chocolate now

a temporary manner - i feel hollow. this was so good truly. in such a small number of pages entire people were created. idk what to say. woah.
