#FridayReads include my current book, Fox by Dubravka Ugresic, an absolute treat for a reader. Underlying its various themes it's about stories and how they come into being. My current poetry read is the collected poems of the Chinese medieval poet Li Qingzhao, The Magpie at Night, which is a new translation of her work by Wendy Chen.
Lined up next are Ursula K. Le Guin's Lavinia, a retelling of the Aeneid in Lavinia's voice, a voice that wasn't heard in Virgil's work, and Strong Roots, a memoir of family, Ukraine and food by chef Olia Hercules.
