Status Updates From Saturday

To have the comfort of hindsight reading this, knowing that the daughter and the dad are both wrong about Iraq in a way, and that maybe we do tend to catastrophize a tad, maybe? As SoCal sits in another brutal heat wave? 😣

I should’ve been reading this when I was home bound with Covid on Saturday! Feels like the fiction embodiment of a clock ticking, sunlight shifting, coffee sipping languid Saturday. (When I was supposed to hike backbone in the AM with Olivia and get pizza with Nate and Sarah and see Grease in the evening-aka my typical Sat.) Idk how to do languid. And like Murakami this book is a head scratcher for me as well.
