    Yes, I love to hear you chat about books and writing. I'm wondering if you have read any Mieko Kawakami? If you're looking for translated literature recommendations, I have to say her work is great. And Han Kang! The White Book is a collection of very beautiful prose. Also Cold Nights of Childhood by Tezer Ozlu; it's very very short, but beautiful. Hope I didn't recommend too much, I am just really excited.

      yes i’ve read both breasts & eggs from kawakami and the white book! really liked both of them. i’ll have to check out tezer ozlu’s work, i haven’t read it yet! thanks for the recs 🫶🏽
