God, long time no see book blog. These are my literature-related news:
1. In May, me and my boyfriend went to Kulturhuset in Stockholm and listened to/watched an interview between Jan Gradvall and Donna Tartt. So surreal to see her in real life, and everything she talked about was just so interesting. She seemed like such a friendly, open person.
2. What I've read lately:
Iris Murdoch - The unicorn
It was OK, really good sometimes, kind of boring at other times.
Jung Chang - Wild swans: three daughters of China
This book is one of the best ones I have ever read. I could not put it down, I dreamt about it, I talked about it, I thought about it. It was just so great and heartbreaking and scary and sad and just everything inbetween.
Ian McEwan - The child in time
I felt like there was something missing from this novel: I maybe wanted him to concentrate even more on the protagonist's feelings about his lost daughter, but it was OK.
I really feel like I am forgetting a book, which is annoying. I'm sure of it. However, what I do know is that I read some short stories from Open secrets by Alice Munro, and then stopped. Now I'm reading Kinflicks by Lisa Alther.
