I'm mostly irrelevant, mostly & a bit broken
And what's gross, is this is the same messaging as the illiberal right wing economic nationalist populists like Trump and Orban.

💙📚 Just finished Ruth Madievsky's All-Night Pharmacy, before returning to Vernon Subutex's further travails.

I loved the confident & deft relationship building w the reader while navigating tricky behaviours & challenging themes from the outset. T'was open but never voyeuristic.

A damn fine book.

💙📚 A facinating book: raw & frenetic w/o ever being unhinged from its reality populated by ugly people & emotions. But there's so more here: care, sensitivities, depth & when given the chance, hope & opportunity.

Holy-moly, you feel the despair bc it's so beautifully visceral & real. Stunning.

💙📚 I ended up buying five copies of Claire North's 84k for friends, I liked it so much.

And if it is really too late to start reading anything, perhaps reaching for a novelist touched by genius is either daft or essential.

Probably both.
