I picked up I Hate Men after you posted a note about it on here and I really liked it. It was refreshing to read. Thanks for the indirect recommendation. The Employees and Hour of the Star have been on my TBR for a while. Hopefully I'll get to them relatively soon. 😊
Yessss we love slim teeny books over here!!! Actually currently working on my own next edition of shorties (as I lovingly refer to them) so this post is v timely.
We also love Clarice. Need to get my hands on a copy of Hour of the Star now!!!!
Okay okay I’ll give you a sneak preview of my next sampling. Try The English Understand Wool by Helen DeWitt. I just finished it this morning and it’s just sooooo spectacular. Published under the Storybook ND imprint, which is dedicated to books you can finish in an afternoon. Including one by Clarice that I had never heard of!!
