All the books I loved this month️ It’s been more than 10 years since I fell for #SylviaPlath and I can tell that today I am even more obsessed with her writing and ‚Jar Bell‘ than ever before, maybe because when I was younger I only tried to understand, but now after 30 years of feeling all the feelings, at least for a little second, I do. Also it’s been my first time with #VirginiaWoolf’s feminist essay ‚A Room for One’s Own‘ in which she endeavors to find the absolutely essential truth and expose it, but slowly comes to realize that no absolute truth exists and that we cannot remove the self, the historical period, or any other inherent biases from someone’s opinion. Then there’s @elouis7580 whom I follow since his powerful debut and who made me cry with this third book about his dad, where love and hate and fury and absolution are nothing less than siblings. Oh and @erica_jong who called her 70’s classic ‚Fear of Flying‘ “a declaration of independence” with its feisty violation of the verbal and sexual taboos of women’s writing, is back for good with ‚Fear of Dying‘. #CatPersonStories is brilliant but dazing (in its maximalist sense). #JuliaCameron changes everything. #chimamandangoziadichie writes a letter to a friend about how to raise a child to be a feminist and lets us be part of her direct and perspective suggestions. #OliviaSudjic nails it while talking about the beautiful and terrible challenges of anxiety and fear. After that #JackKerouac is pure holidays. Thank you @teresakrescentia @kathi.zimmermann @ellajosephineebsen @j.w.v.r & @friederikeschilbach for your suggestions
