I’m reading faster than I can post, and I’m not going to complain about that. The Association of Small Bombs was good, and I see why it was nominated for and won so many awards. The writing was brilliant and the content was thought provoking. I probably should have spent more time with it, but June was a bit chaotic.
When I got to shelf #23, I decided to read The Facts Behind the Helsinki Roccamatios by Yann Martel. I include “We Ate the Children Last” as an option for students to read for the literary analysis essay, so I had an idea of what I might be getting myself into with this collection of early short stories. I felt like I was reading art. Martel is a brilliant writer, and now I want to read Life of Pi again.
