Sooo heartbreaking. Sometimes a little too much so, but Agnes Shakespeare is one of my favorite literary mothers ever and Hamnet, as a whole, is one of the most vivid and visceral portraits of motherhood in modern Irish literature.

The Dead is the greatest short story in the English language, that’s all I have to say. Also, Little Chandler’s reverie in A Little Cloud is the most personal and resonant stream of consciousness ever… well, at least until Stephen Dedalus and Leopold Bloom entered the scene in 1922.

Shockingly violent but stunningly human… Cathy and Heathcliff at their most tumultous are terrible and tempestuous. Loving it…

Hauntingly real and thoroughly researched… holds an unflinching mirror up to the true face of America, masks down and true actors exposed. The hierarchies that have always lay beneath, but are what started it all and keep it going thousands of years later. Can’t recommend this enough.

Terrific writing (despite some grammar errors)! Sally Rooney and Alice Birch are experts in human nature.

A world on the verge…

Poetic… I can’t put it down!

Conflict has arisen…

Really gaining speed now… WWII is realized.

Incredible scripts of a fabulous show based on a deeply moving book (which I’ve also read!)
