It makes me so incredibly happy to hear you talking about Butcher's Crossing and John Williams. I adore his books so much. You really have to read Augustus, it totally broke me.

!Cla-renaissance! I’m here for it and have officially joined the club? The cult? Love how you describe books. You speak to the essence, the feel, and themes of the books you read so well. Those are the kinds of descriptions that get me to pick something up and I’m taking notes :)

I'm always wondering how it can be possible that we had such different reading experiences with In Love. Not because everybody reads a book very subjectively of course, but because I got so angry reading it, because it was so misogynistic in my opinion and I know for sure that this would be something you would also notice. So I just don't get what happened??? Did I actually read the same book?

oh interesting, i definitely noticed it but i thought it was self-aware in the sense that there was a lot of playing the victim and skewing pov in the re-telling of the relationship to begin with. it brought out the negativity that love can be a catalyst for once its unreturned - and the relationship only being recounted after ending made it unreliable and less romanticized to me. in the other book of his i read recently it was the same theme, really dark/noir depiction of a flawed relationship - so i can see it being a pattern now and less of a stylistic choice 🤔
