@kevingamin Still trying to figure out why there's an asterisk on it

@ModernDayBartleby Seems to have something to do with it being an All Star Game cap.

@ModernDayBartleby @bookstodon
Great book. I discovered Ernaux last year and read many of her Books in a few months.
@Arnocgt @bookstodon After winning the Nobel, her books are more widely promoted, having read 4 myself and delighted to have come across her work
@ModernDayBartleby @bookstodon Nice! I think these early stories from her are her bests.
@alx @bookstodon I'm rereading all I can find at the various libraries around me to revist them
@ModernDayBartleby @bookstodon Yep, I come back to her kind of cyclically. Some of my favourite are 'Goodbye Tsugumi', 'Asleep', and one never translated in English (to my knowledge) 'L'ultima amante di Hachiko'
@alx @bookstodon ASLEEP is the other one I checked out this week from one of my local libraries
@ModernDayBartleby @bookstodon I have a special soft spot for Asleep as I've read and re-read it through a moment in life were I had troubles sleeping, but it's been like 15 years now since I read it last. Waiting for your impressions.
