Not a Novel: A Memoir in Pieces by Jenny Erpenbeck

5.0

A Christmas present from the only friend who buys me books, and boy does she know how to choose them. I savored this book, allowing myself one essay or 15 pages a day to make it last. Her personal essays are my favorite, the tone she strikes and her matter-of-fact reporting that is anything but. If you haven't read her, you should, and this book or Go, Went, Gone are nice places to start.
