There are coconut harvesting competitions for monkeys? Aristotle thought cinnamon came from the nests of giant birds? I’m fascinated by this book of delights and reflections. Thank you Aimee and Cordelia ❤️

Morning dip into this beautiful collection. My current favorite essay is about watching bird migrations from the Empire State Building

Fascinated by the mother in this novel, so full and odd. She tells stories of how she was mistreated so that her daughters will laugh. She puts oranges on trees for the birds too weak to migrate

Fantastic portrait of Iraq from the perspective of one who grew up there, lovingly interested in the experiences of ordinary people—a wedding, a passport office queue, a ninth grade classroom.

Such a fantastic, eerie, haunted, emotionally astute novel with two levels of questions: What happened in the submarine/ocean? And what happened to the marriage?

What an intricate, fascinating novel. I love reading about the welder at the center of this novel, who makes large sculptures she calls “manglements” and reflects on, for instance, how the same mind holds both the most beautiful artistic impulse and the ugliest thoughts
