📚 40. BEAUTIFUL WORLD, WHERE ARE YOU by Sally Rooney. As a postmodernist, I can sometimes go long stretches without reading a novel with, like, a coherent narrative, and characters with, like, legible wants and desires. But I do still sometimes like novels like that, and I liked this one

📚 39. THE CARE MANIFESTO: THE POLITICS OF INTERDEPENDENCE by the Care Collective. This book ably describes my politics in a way few others have lately, but every single page underscores how far we are from the realization of this vision (and how much ground we’ve lost since the book's publication)

📚 38. THE TAIGA SYNDROME by Cristina Rivera Garza. I'm a sucker for any novel that starts out with a private investigation which then turns into (a) something supernatural, (b) something Surrealist, or (c) a psychological exploration of shattering identity. This book turns into (d) all of the above

📚 37. ANTIGONE by Sophocles (Robert Bagg and James Scully, trans.). Various persons follow their moral calling and disobey the commands and edicts of a vengeful, capricious strongman ruler. Oh, no reason
