a fascinating book. it was a little different than i expected, the narrator didn’t take on as big of a role as i thought she might from the description, or at least the main interest to me was the stories being told by each person she converses.
these stories are about the stories we tell ourselves. the way we seek to form a narrative around our lives, and in doing so try to imbue our lives with meaning. many of the characters find their lives - and their stories - shaken by events like a split from a spouse, or a career that hasn’t quite taken off. your sense of self becomes so dependent on the people you’re closest to, and when that goes away ....
definitely thinking a lot about how i tell the story of my own life. i wonder how close to the truth i get.
