Birdie Reads

Me: "What's your favorite childhood memory?" Character in this book: "Memory is but a lantern flickering in the cavern of the self..." .....sigh....just tell me about a birthday or something, I don't need you to be a walking pinterest board

Frustrating thing so far....the author clearly has beautiful insights about memory, regret, and human nature. But not every thought needs to be spelled out. Fiction is strongest when it trusts the reader to find the meaning instead of turning every observation into a quote board.

"Every fossil is a miracle. All living things—regno animalium et vegetabilium—eventually die, and the vast majority of these, swallowed by earth or exposed to the elements, fall, in the end, to dust."
