The Hare with Amber Eyes is an expansive, poignant, brilliant book. Overtly the history of the journey of a collection of netsuke, the book traverses across cities from the 1860s Paris through fin-de-siècle Vienna to the gut wrenching periods of the two World Wars and beyond. It is the story of the rich Jewish Ephrussi family written by Edmund de Waal, himself an artist of objects and a descendant of the Ephrussis. Beautiful, beautiful book 🤍🌼 https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7821828

The Guardian did a marvellous series called Writers' Rooms around 2008-09.
Each post in the series had a photo of a writer’s workspace and their comments on how it came to be and what it meant to them.
Heartwarming❤️🔥

Smaran DayalNYC libraries’ annual list of most borrowed books is always fascinating to see. It especially dramatizes the difference between popular and academic / lit-journalist tastes. The 2022 list is no less surprising than other years.
