Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
12/18: the true deceiver
I read Tove Jansson's Moomin books when I was younger, so I was intrigued upon learning that she also wrote novels for "grown-ups." I took her True Deceiver with me on the plane to New Jersey and I finished the novel just before we landed. It was great, as well as beautifully translated by Thomas teal. I look forward to reading more of Jansson's novels and maybe even revisiting the Moomins in the upcoming year.
