Welcome to Litsy!

I haven‘t written poetry in what feels like forever, but these verses are unlocking something in me and I‘m finally scratching down a few lines and ideas! It‘s such a relief! ✍🏼🗒️🤍

Man, this slim little book sure packs in a lot of story. It's interesting how Irene and Clare are almost two sides of the same coin, and how that interplay affects the action at the end. I see why this one has lasted! #classics

I went into this thinking that it was from the POV of the woman passing, so it took me a minute to adjust to it being told from the woman's childhood friend - which I think is a much more interesting POV. It is a short but impactful book, and that ending! I was not prepared.

This book was a combination of short stories and two novellas. Spare, beautiful writing that pulls you into the stories. Detailed description of clothing and settings. Endings with a punch. A member of the Harlem Renaissance, Nella Larsen was chosen for the New York Times project Overlooked. Obituaries were written posthumously of historic women who were overlooked. #booked2023 #ashortstorycollection #mttbr
