In Ashton Politanoff’s new novel Dad Had a Bad Day, a man defenseless against his repetition compulsion unravels in chiseled and unnerving prose. @beaudealyracquetmag.com/dad-had-a-bad…
I'm very jealous of all the non-American authors who get to publish little novellas and tiny essay collections that top out 100 pages. We gotta bring that culture to the states.
Books read in February:
Union Street - Pat Barker
Dad Had a Bad Day - Ashton Politanoff
May We Feed the King - Rebecca Perry
The Silver Book - Olivia Laing
Seven - Joanna Kavenna
A Complicated Women - Rebecca Lucy Taylor
Cycle of the Werewolf - Stephen King
All good stuff!
