Intermezzo by Sally Rooney

Smut for the emotionally intellectual. Slow, calm, the characters are all likeable in their own ways. It's a comfort read. Éanna Hardwicke is a most excellent narrator.

“Flights,” by the Polish writer Olga Tokarczuk

I'm not even sure what to say about this book, one of the more bizarre rambles I've taken in a while, and I like it. Lovely prose, darkly funny, hallucinatory.

"The police were also investigating messages left on bullet casings at the scene of the shooting, according to two law enforcement officials. Authorities are running ballistics tests on the casings, which appear to have had the words "delay" and "deny" on them, the official said."

Art by John Kenn Mortensen
Black and white ink illustration of a large silly monster with a view of their very simple digestive system, a squiggly tube leading to the big hollow belly and no apparent outlet. The big hollow belly is full of 10 villagers. To the right, there is a list: the monster, the ten devoured villagers names, and the two undevoured villagers names, one of which is a cat that is running off of the frame of the image.
