(Here’s a review from Strange Horizons that sums it up really well.)

I read this one before Margaret Atwood signed the letter in support of Steven Galloway, but now it feels like I can’t even talk about this because how much of the misogyny in her books is critique and how much is just toxic internalized misogyny that happens to fit into a dystopian story as well?

Miriam Toews has a fierce way of writing about loneliness. A story about poetry, music, and talent; and the struggle and impossibility of yearning for more life for a depressed and suicidal loved one.

Anyway, read Marie Antoinette instead if you’re into French history and court drama.

In a nutshell: I’ve been real tired of coming across requests on blogs and Facebook for book recommendations, and seeing the same white guy authors get mentioned over and over again. I want to put my misandrist money where my mouth is and be able to suggest tonnes of good books by women, to be able to talk about what’s worthwhile reading in various genres.

But greatness ain't having that sh%*." Shout out to Author, @afuokosun for a quick, direct & reflective read. So much in this book resonated with me & my own personal journey to define success as it relates to my purpose & passions. Great quick & motivational read especially for millennials. #Instaread #AfuOkosun #ScaredofSuccess #Millennials #32Books ... 13|32 ✨📚 (#RepostWhiz app)
