my emotional development stopped at the “tell me a story” phase, and that’s all i expect from a book. i don’t need it to change my life, i don’t need it to answer every one of my questions, i don’t need it to teach me about any historical atrocity.

this is not a perfect book, but it is a deeply entertaining book. it’s true that the characters are largely unlikable, but that’s also true of Wuthering Heights and Jude the Obscure, two of my all-time favorites. if it’s the idea of cloning that is upsetting the more delicately religious/political folks, just power throughpretend it’s like a unicorn in a fantasy novel or the spontaneous combustion in Bleak Houseit is something that is happening just to drive plotit isn’t reeeeealll!! it is just genuine fun in the vein of liz jensen or when jonathan coe is being funny.

do.

this feels gauche, but when i announced i was starting a blog, everyone assured me this is a thing that is done. i’m not on facebook, i’ve never had a cellphone or listened to a podcast; so many common experiences of modern life are foreign to me, but i’m certainly struggling financially, so if this is how the world works now, i’d be foolish to pass it up. any support will be received with equal parts gratitude and bewilderment.
