Why do I bother reading anything other than T Kingfisher? She simply does it the best.

Heidi ✨ is 22% done with The Book of Form and Emptiness
It’s got all sad… this was not the turn I was expecting. Ngl it’s kind of slow. It feels a bit like wading through right now. Although there is a lot I like in the perspective shifts.

So… many… characters…! I am struggling to keep track of them at page 35… this is not a good sign.

Loving the visual sections
Blue Moon - Hiromi Kawakami trans. Lucy North
Oh no, this was amazing! Do I have to give Hiromi Kawakami another go? I had given up…
Spider Lilies - Hiroko Oyamada trans. Juliet Winters Carpenter
Unsettling, not in a bad way. Did what a lot of stories try to do but I think… a little more successfully than most?

A Clean Marriage - Murata Sayaka (trans. Ginny Tapley Takemori)
Ahhhh Murata-san… strange as always. None of this is as deep as it is made out to be.

Heidi ✨
Heidi ✨ is 50% done with Orlando
I’ve been absolutely won over - thought this might be my final try of Virgina Woolf but… I think it might be the exact opposite.

Akutagawa - Hell Screen
I liked the style and the drama. The simplicity of the story allowed these elements to be fully brought out.

Closet LLB - Uno Kōji
My favourite story in here for a while. If it had been any longer, Otsukotsu would have become annoying, but it was short and sweet. Genuinely funny.

Abe Akira - Peaches
Why. It was so close to being a story about memory which I could recommend and refer to - about how we create memory and try to justify them to ourselves. And war memory. Why did he have to include weird sexual bits about his mother? I think ‘translated by Jay Rubin’ is quickly becoming a big red flag for me 🚩

[for my adoring public aka Terry]
Enchi Fumiko - a bond for two lifetimes
For a feminist icon, Enchi is not all that feminist or iconic in this one. Very bored of stories about lecherous men…
