#114 Musings Beyond the Bunker (Wednesday August 11)

Good morning! READ THIS BOOK I realized I hadn’t been sharing books for a while. But I just finished one that, to use a hackneyed phrase, “I couldn’t put down.” It is The Glass Hotel, by Emily St. John Mandel. It is the story of semi-lost partially achieving half-siblings (one a drug addict and composer), a Madoff-style Ponzi scheme, art, escape from the world, embrace of the world, visions of ghosts, and characters wondering “what could have been.” There is certainly plot and there is evolution of the characters but it is all a bit odd, not quite normal, yet evocatively and exquisitely described by a remarkable author.
