a perfect book. also the funniest book i've ever read. (this is not an exaggeration.) shirley jackson is a genius and i wish i could crawl inside her brain.

the sundial is criminally underrated and i wish more people read it so i could talk about it with them. an immediate and absolute class comedy exemplar.
