A Blog About My Bookshelf

Concept · criticism · personal_truth · visibility: publishable

Her review philosophy, stated as a refusal: ‘more of a blog about my bookshelf, less of a blog about what books are being published.’ Not service journalism — not ‘do I recommend’ — but the shelf as self-portrait. Candidate first lists tell the register: ‘books I will only consider reading if I become immortal because they’re too goddamn long,’ ‘books I pretend to have finished,’ ‘epistolary novels and the ADHD women who write them.’ The books are a lens on her, not the other way around; the canon and the new-release cycle are explicitly not the subject.
