Reportage from around the 1960s. Gives a view of Poland post Stalin. There is a general sense of decay in all the pieces and each piece has hidden depths.
A book to be dipped into and read when the mood fits.

This is a beautifully written book about one woman's life in Barcelona during the Spanish Civil War, though it is quite slow paced at the beginning.

My daughter found this #VMC edition for me last year, and I'm glad I finished it before my upcoming trip to Barcelona. I hope I'll have time to visit the Plaça del Diamant, where the book is set.

A family believe that they are extraterrestrials and that they all come from different plants. But they want peace on earth. At the same time there‘s another trio who believes that they are also extraterrestrials but they want to exterminate humans.

I never got along with this novel and feel that it kept me at a distance. I don‘t think I got what the author was trying to tell but that might be because I don‘t know enough about Japan and its

Hedon Love the cover though. 1y

Creeptastic! And I loved it. Totally masterful control in the writing, slowly revealing more and more and amping the creep factor and claustrophobia right to the very end. #192019 #1962

batsy Yes! This was so good with the controlled and mounting tension. 6y
