Homegoing: A novel | Yaa Gyasi
Pickpick

It's hard to start any other book after Homegoing. I wish it had continued forever and ever.

Hot Milk | Deborah Levy

I feel that I should read first Cixous' The Laugh of the Medusa and then read this again. Hot milk, white ink, feminine writing - stunning!

"The story tells that water has a consciousness, that it carries in its memory everything that‘s ever happened in this world, from the time before humans until this moment, which draws itself in its memory even as it passes.”

One of the characters talks about prostitution: "I meet interesting people at work. In what other job do you earn money just for lying on your back?" Life is not black or white but thousand colours.
