Did the American conservationists Mark and Delia Owens go too far in Africa?
(I did not super love Where the Crawdads Sing, mostly because I found it narratively dishonest, but this is also I think an incredibly important footnote to its existence.)

This was not what she had pictured herself doing. For as long as she could remember she had wanted to be a writer. She was actually trying to do that! It was just hard. Writing was very hard and soul crushing. Literally anyone would tell you that.

books of 2017
that I read!Â
the tally is lower than I thought it would be (at 37 actual books read, not counting the dozen or so (at least) that I started and didnât finish either because: library holds always come in at the same time, disinterest, or personal moral failure), but this was the year I also read a lot of news, just many, many, many articles across a lot of publications because, you know, 2017

I made a âCalm the Fuck Down Right Nowâ mix that I think is actually a fic mix to get me writing in disguise. Itâs long, I put it on shuffle, I get very busy in my brain but in a soothing way. Of note, because I keep replaying them over and over and over, as I often do:Â
âPages of My Letters,â Keri Noble (the internet does not want you to know this song exists? I love it a LOT) âDoor Number Three,â Sara B doing Waitress (because obligatory) âBeautiful World,â Dierks Bentley feat. Patty Griffin (itâs just nice)
reading 4/13
I just finished The Clasp by Sloane Crosley, which is a very specific kind of book. I have long loved I Was Told Thereâd Be Cake and Howâd You Get This Number?--the writing in those collections felt very familiar to me, something I recognized and connected with and Iâve gone back to them many times. It took me two tries to get through The Clasp, which is her first novel; on a very superficial level, it also felt familiar and like something I recognized but didnât respond to as much. Itâs a little like Meg Wolitzerâs The Interestings in how it deals with friendships that started through proximity and circumstance and what happens when those things no longer keep you all together. Itâs about that kind of quarter-life malaise of realizing where you are is not where youâd imagined youâd be but youâre still the person you were when you imagined it. Those two qualities together make it a specific kind of book (as well as being entirely about fairly affluent/comfortable white people surrounded by the same). It picked up as it went along, and I think it outgrew what I think was holding it back as the plot got a little more playful--playful isnât quite the right word, and neither is fanciful, but itâs somewhere in there. And the writing still feels like what Iâve enjoyed about Sloane Crosleyâs writing in the past: a little wry, a little arch, with some really wonderful surprises. Iâm glad I read it and Iâm going to be chewing on it for a while. I donât know that I can recommend it without qualifications, but I think if I asked you if you liked the TV show Felicity Iâd be able to tell you one way or the other.
