'We want other people to have a centre, a history, an account that makes sense.'

60/52 ★★★★☆

A very impressive elegy printed as a leporello.

'An envious heart makes a treacherous ear.’

60/52 ★★★☆☆

A love story, a sad one. Am not a fan of the genre myself, but I could appreciate this one. Hurston wrote in the vernacular of her characters, while the backdrop tells of how Black Americans, especially women, struggled to make a living in the 1930s.

'Sometimes, the best expression of what is real and true is only possible through an imaginative act.'


44/52 ★★★★☆

Too bad it's not feasible to travel all over the world to admire and experience Erlichs intriguiging artworks. Fortunately, books bring the world to my lap. This volume captures Erlichs clever and playful takes on spaces.
