Se admite a menudo entre estas familias que la comunicación es compleja, a menudo más vociferada que hablada. Un amigo... Me dijo un día 'durante mucho tiempo creí que el yidish era una lengua que solo podía hablarse a grito pelado'

En la mayoría de las familias de descendientes de la shoá se reconoce esa dureza característica: sobrevivieron porque lo eran o se volvieron así para sobrevivir?
so-soI finished it, but skimmed quite a bit. I don‘t know what it was, perhaps the run-on sentences or maybe it was too detailed about things I wasn‘t interested in. I really liked the premise, a 24 hour window onto an organ transplant, but it just didn‘t captivate me. Disappointing because I was looking forward to it.
Into the donation bag it goes! (Pun intended!) 😝
Why buy 1 when you can buy 2? Going out on a limb - not read Kerangal before, but I suspect I may like her writing.
pickThis is pretty sad. The English title is Oscar and the Woman in Pink. Basically Oscar is dying and Mamie Rose comes up with ways to get him through it. It's epistolary with Oscar writing letters to God.

Please. Ask me if I needed more books to read.
Already like 20 pages into the tagged one. Despite the fact that I have a different book that I brought from home sitting on my desk.
Narayama is a very depressing novella (again!) inspired by a Japanese folktale in which old people are taken to the Narayama mountain/god and left there to die, so as to leave more food to the younger generation over the winter. Not cheerful, but with a definite wintery vibe!

pickThis book gutted me. Twenty-four hours in the life —and death, and life again — of a heart that begins with the fatal accident of Simon and ends with its rebirth inside the chest of Claire. Plus the stories of those who interact with it along the way. Although some of the passages wander a bit too much into the weeds of the extraneous characters, the writing is breathtakingly gorgeous. A definite pick.
pickYa había visto la película, de hecho solo la vi una vez, creo que este libro tendrá el mismo destino, no es una historia que se pueda masticar y tragar de una sola vez, es muy cruda, triste y llena de injusticia, lo peor de todo es que yo ya sabía de que trataba cuando comencé a leerlo. Es un buen libro, complementen con la película, si eres de los que lloran fácilmente no veas la película, en resumen un excelente libro con una historia triste.
