of Speculation after reading Patricia Lockwood’s No One is Talking About This ( the month before), all three books written or at least presented in isolated paragraphs, with often no great through-flow of narrative or logic to carry you from paragraph to paragraph. I wrote about the fragmentary nature of Offill’s writing last month, when I reread her Dept. Instead I’m going to focus on a couple of the books I read this month, and others like them: Weather by Jenny Offill, and Dead Souls, by Sam Riviere. Lots of fragmentary DeLillo for an academic chapter I filed today, yay!) (Lots of scattered reading as preparation for next academic year.



This isn’t really going to function as a ‘What I read this month’ post, in part because I haven’t read many books right through.
