Feels very on brand with a lot of the “enjoy the little things” recs I see on this site. Simple, clear writing about looking at the world

I read it years ago so the details are hazy but I still think about it often. Does a really good job depicting what it’s like to be a human trapped in your own body and mind, and trying so hard to connect with another, but sometimes our own devices get in the way. how something as minor as indigestion can feel like an insurmountable and untimely occurence

a friend rec’d this for me 2 yrs ago, & I thought, “what kind of book is called cloud cuckoo land.” I went into it pretty blind, & I think u should do the same.
it has Greek mythology, themes of climate anxiety, the interconnectedness of humanity, etc. so many good things & beautifully written. I just finished it & I’m still processing my thoughts so none of this is eloquently written but i highly recommend!!

Only a few can write fiction with this calmness and grace in their language. Every word feels like a spell by Cortazar getting you into his world. I’m still not sure which one was my favorite but Letter to a Lady in Paris is just crazy

I work on a college campus where we have this statue of a rat with giant balls and it has become a regular phenomenon for students/people to offer their vapes to the ball rat. It is both so silly and so beautiful to me.
