“I'm not escaping the present; instead, I'm creating a space for myself to process the overwhelming cruelty in a way that resonates with me.” I feel this sooo much, thanks for articulating it 🙏🏼
Love the pebble in the shoe metaphor. I only understand/speak and write in one language and I can only imagine the discomforts of this pebble for someone with speaks multiple languages. You write so well, I can't tell at all you walk with a rock in your shoe :) Also, in your dad's writing! I also read Stay True and Hunger this year and they really stuck with me because of their strong voice, their deep perspective that I could not relate to but I was so still deeply entrenched in their story.
would love to know what other books you enjoyed this year! stay true was interesting because the author grew up around the area that I'm in + his relationship with his parents reminded me so much of my in-laws!
