Totally against the grain of my personal aesthetic, I LOVE American editions of #BarbaraPym w/ the horrifically colored graphic tessellating wallpaper patterns, they’re what my local library has & I’m steadily replicating the collection at home, thanks to eBay, not JUST so I can admire their spines arranged so harmoniously together, but so I can finally annotate & leave crumbs & jam smears & coffee splashes in them guilt-free. What can I say?—I’m a library patron with a conscience. #booklover

My house is large and comfortable and my financial position is sound… and,’ he added, rather as an afterthought, ‘I loved you the moment I saw you.’”
(Keep in mind he had a backup plan if she didn’t seem as pretty to him that day, as she had initially struck him before.)

This is Barbara Pym.
If you are a woman entering the age of invisibility & feeling awfully alone these holidays—feeling wretchedly jilted in love—feeling like drinking or eating yourself into a coma—then please, read one of her novels.
She will become your best friend. She will make you piss yourself laughing. She will turn spinsterhood into pure comedy gold.

Der leicht zerfledderte Zustand des linken Taschenbuchs deutet darauf hin, wie oft ich "Excellent Women" über die Jahre gelesen habe. Einfach köstlich, ihre sanfte Ironie.
Es ist wohl der mir liebste Roman von Barbara Pym, eine meiner Lieblingsautorinnen.❤️
