Review – Robert Shepherd: Writer

The world in the self and the self in the world: Thoughts on The Midnight Library

Illustration of a book with a question mark on it and "OTHER WORLDS" written on the spine. Beside it is the text "Borrowing lives" and "Thoughts on the Midnight Library."

Some quick thoughts about Matt Haig’s “The Midnight Library” and why my own depressed brain ended up finding it a bit unsatisfying.

Review: Strangers, by Rebecca Tamás

When I was a teenager I got deeply obsessed with the fact that minds and the people that have them might not be the same thing.

Review: On Bodies, by Three of Cups press

Cartoon of a blob saying "Being a body is horrible, and yet somehow being a body in a society is even worse."

I am a body, so there was lots in this book I found affirming and relatable. And at the same time I also found it to be very sad, because all the bodies who wrote it seem to hate being bodies at all.
