20. The Virgin Suicides by Jeffery Eugenides - Really good, though I never quite got over having the Coppola film in my mind while reading it. Which isn't really a bad thing, just kind of what happened. A perfect example of a great novel getting adapted into a great film imo.

Partially dreading NOUVELLE VAGUE for broadly normal reasons (looks bad and pandering), mostly dreading it for sicko reasons (the particular things I am / might be upset at it for will be incomprehensible and incommunicable to anyone who’s not deeply New Wave pilled)

The contrast between the very internal epistolary email sections and how removed the third person narration was also interesting. Made me feel very alien as a reader at time.

19. Beautiful World, Where Are You by Sally Rooney - Love the aspect where three out of the four are Literary Novel characters who can't say anything directly and they all sort of crash into the wall of Felix, who has his own issues but doesn't have any patience for that shit.

18. The Dream Hotel by Laila Lalami - Went into this with no idea about it, just saw it mentioned and was intrigued so I put it on hold in libby. Was actually not really in the mood for another sci-fi lit fic thing right after Memory Police but it won me over, a pretty easy read.

17. Jesus' Son by Denis Johnson - Solid collection of short stories that paint an interesting portrait of the main character. Some very novel use of language, lots of very evocative turns of phrase that give very unique texture to the narration.

16. The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa
Definitely took a bit to grow on me but I ended up quite liking it. Very interesting premise from the start but at first the characters felt so vague that I didn't have much to grasp onto. Very strong ending.

15. Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage by Alice Munro
Really great collection of stories, very insightful about all the small indignities and compromises that come with being alive.

14. The Savage Detectives by Roberto Bolaño
Loved this, I'm sad I don't have any more stories of Arturo Belano and Ulises Lima's questionable decisions to read.

13. Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan
Really, really good. Liked it at least as much as Foster. Very honest appraisal of the difficulty of doing the right thing when weighed against the costs you know it will have for you and your loved ones.

12. The Underground Railroad by Colson Whithead
Really great stuff. Especially liked how the interludes from the pov of tertiary characters broaden to what's going on around Cora. Gives insights into characters who otherwise could have seemed a little flat or simplistic.
