Wild — falling in love with Shirley Jackson’s writing. Despite this memoir focusing on rearing young children, I devoured it. Children are so odd. Life is so odd. And Jackson so beautifully defangs the social judgements we make towards these odd human experiences to convince you to value all the charm and novelty they bring.

A slow paced book that’ll explain where the inspiration came for all her characters.
