like listening to a judee sill album. deceptively simple and easy to drift from, but when the words catch you you become totally enveloped in the depth and intimacy and religiosity they contain. made me want good food and miss cocktails and the excitement of finding new and strangely familiar places.

Ok, MFK Fisher is always a slooooow read for me. I've been working on this book off and on for a few months now because it just doesn't move fast enough to hold my attention for very long. But the writing is so lush and beautiful there is no choice but to just luxuriate in her sentences as you drink it all in. Completely worth taking your time with and savoring. This is a delectable book that showcases some of her best writing and also gives you a lot more insights into her bright, full life.
