DEVASTATINGLY BLEAK, POETIC work of profound horror is a brutal, beautifully crafted exploration of the depths of the human heart. Not for everyone, but for those willing to look into the abysses of our nature, it’s powerful as hell. A MINUS

"This isn't your fault. You've managed so far. Now you're struggling." Ryan leaned in.
"There is no cure." Ryan slumped.
"There is a #novel treatment." Eyes met. "It requires effort."
Ryan leaned in again. "As the kids say, 'touch grass'. Get out there and meet people. You can be their SSRI and unlock their inner SSRI for you. Everyone is kept apart. Work. Suburbs. Cars. People come home to hide behind their televisions. Computers. Yelling at each other. Nobody's talking." 2/x

The Torrents of Spring
Just finished reading Torrents of Spring the 1872 novella by Ivan Turgenev. It is partly autobiographical, centering on a young Russian landowner who falls in love for the first time while visiting the German city of Frankfurt.
Today in Labor History March 11, 1850: French anarchist Clément Duval was born. His theory of individual reclamation, which justified theft, and other crimes, as both educational and legitimate ways to redistribute the wealth, influenced the Illegalists of the 1910s, including Jules Bonnot, of the Bonnot Gang. According to Paul Albert, "The story of Clement Duval was lifted and, shorn of all politics, turned into the bestseller Papillon."

Long Island Compromise by Taffy Brodesser-Akner
How Carl Fletcher's kidnapping in the 80s affected his family.
It constantly makes me think of Arrested Development (I should rewatch that), but I'm not finding it as engaging.
#PennedPossibilities 606 — Is your MC keeping any secrets? Can you tell us more without giving away any spoilers?
All of them do. Their secrets are revealed in the course of the story. Earlier for some, later for others. By the end of the novel series, the reader knows. Until then, there are no spoilers.
DELIGHTFULLY WITTY, THOUGHTFUL, and beautifully observed romantic comedy of manners combines a great (and twisty!) plot, some sharp satire of Hollywood in the age of social media, lovely family moments, and some spicy, steamy scenes. A MINUS
