I so wanted to like this book. Unfortunately, all I could hear while I was reading it was "blah blah blah". Couldn't even finish it.

Probabilmente sono io che con i racconti brevi vado poco d'accordo, ma spero gli altri racconti (quelli del libro cartaceo) siano migliori di questo estratto per la collana Zoom...

Reading this collection of short stories -- which was mostly about relationships and grief at different stages -- made me want to re-read The Pickup, which I think I read in college and would be in a much better position to appreciate now. This collection had some lovely writing, but aside from a few, they didn't really grab me.

4,5⭐️ La prosa di Nadine Gordimer ha una musicalità suadente, ammalia come un incantatore di serpenti e appaga come una coppa di fragole con abbondante panna montata. Una lettura sublime.
