October, Eight O'Clock Stories
October, Eight O'Clock Stories | Norman Manea
1 post | 1 reading
A collection of short stories stemming from the Romanian author's detention in a Nazi concentration camp as a child evokes a sense of the horror and absurdity of war and Romanian politics.

I wanted some sort of skillety thing for my birthday breakfast and the fancy place I planned to order from wouldn‘t let me ask them to leave out the red onions. Boo. I stopped off at Tim Horton‘s instead for a resoundingly adequate scramble box alongside my daily short story.

This collection is HEAVY. Manea‘s fiction draws on his experiences in a concentration camp; an important subject that many people obviously need a refresher on.

xicanti @TheBookHippie everything was good except the eggs, which needed a lot more (or any) seasoning). 2d
