A novel about a Palestinian teacher in NYC slowly unraveling and getting involved in a Birkin bags scheme. First book this year I read in one sitting. Touching, weird, bleak, but funny and very real.

SUCH a wild ride, weโ€™ve got an affair, a celeb psychic medium, an inter-dimensional cloud of ancestral grief, a failing marriage (and a pregnancy), the Russian Revolution, generational trauma, Soviet orphanages, and at least three questionable women โ€”I feel like this is a superb book for the Moshfegh, batuman, emma cline, Mona Awad crowds

Auto-fiction in the au courant/Rachel Cusk bent about a female writer in her 50s. Beautifully written and just brimming with wit. I donโ€™t have her gifts so I canโ€™t begin to do it justice, but just read it. Didnโ€™t actually realize this was the third in a trilogy (a repeat mistake for this guy). Felt even more atmospheric not having the context of the first two.
