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!!
