Book Review: β€˜The Third Love,’ by Hiromi Kawakami In Hiromi Kawakami’s new novel, a young woman responds to her husband’s infidelities in creative ways.

"A surrealist depiction of a woman’s coming-of-age . . . reads as radically feminist to me, a way of living that no longer privileges the role of wife over that of friend, daughter, mother, intellectual compatriot, co-conspirator." β€” @nytimes.com

Travel Westward In Greyhound, Joanna Pocock traces two bus journeys.

"In this westward journey, Pocock seeks not fortune, success, or survival, but connection, in all senses of the word: for her own sake but also, more urgently, as a balm for America’s pervasive ills to which her bus ride grants her a front-row seat." β€”@altajournal.bsky.social
