Reading about 10pp at a time of Katalin Street. More than that edges me into despair, but at that small dose, I can appreciate the humanity, the futility in the face of history and fate, and keep hoping these flawed humans will be OK. #NYRBwomen2025

I don't feel like it's a fair comparison! Jessica M was early in her writing career, Blackwood later, though they were both in their 40s. And it's a funny memoir about youth, versus a finely crafted novel about a family over time. I loved them both, for different reasons. #NYRBwomen2025

Sometimes when reading a book like Lies and Sorcery, I think about how with a coal stove in a small flat, the CO2 levels must have been intense. #NYRBWomen2025

I am a bit behind. Finished the intro, over halfway through Chapter 1. I do love the plot involving a solitary woman in a gothic-inspired house haunted by memories

Caroline Blackwood was the author of wit-drenched books about the wages of class, women’s inhumanity to women, bitchiness, greed, abjection, family, monsters. But motherhood as original sin was her most persistent theme.
The Mordant Observations of a Legendary Muse
Caroline Blackwood inspired paintings by Lucian Freud and poetry by Robert Lowell. Her own work has been unjustly forgotten.
