Mrs. Caliban by Rachel Ingalls
Rate this book

I only picked up Mrs. Caliban because Ann Patchett mentioned it on her Parnassus Books YouTube series, New To You. Honestly, I wasn’t planning to read it, but the way she described it, this weird little “lost classic” stuck in my head. And wow, it’s… ...more

Natasha Brown’s second novel, Universality, is a sharp, satirical ride through modern media, privilege, and power. It opens with what seems like a feature from a glossy magazine: a COVID-era rave at a Yorkshire farmhouse ends with one of its members ...more

Quotes by Vivek Tejuja  (?)

“It is funny how parents mean so much to children and vice-versa, and yet we don’t believe in honest conversations in our country.”
Vivek Tejuja, So Now You Know: A Memoir of Growing Up Gay in India

“The lesson I learnt without knowing it: never make demigods of people you adore. Never. They will only disappoint you in the long run.”
Vivek Tejuja, So Now You Know: A Memoir of Growing Up Gay in India

“It is quite strange, almost romantic how we attach certain things to memories and people. They just stay there and become life-long associations, whether we like it or not.”
Vivek Tejuja, So Now You Know: A Memoir of Growing Up Gay in India

“We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster than we should that we go bankrupt by the age of thirty and have less to offer each time we start with someone new. But to feel nothing so as not to feel anything—what a waste!”
André Aciman, Call Me by Your Name
