Slight Exaggeration
Adam Zagajewski
Part memoir, part essay, all contemplative and fascinating.
I picked this book up last year in Warsaw and have been waiting for the right time to read it. I’m so glad I have read it now.
One of the books I’ve enjoyed most this year, it glows with warmth and wisdom. Thoughtful, articulate, and inspiring, I recommend this wholeheartedly. A splendid writer taking on topics as varied as his youth in Poland, travels abroad, classical music, and mortality. It’s a moving and lovely book.
It also makes me think about how rarely I sit down and really PONDER without scrolling or just staring at a screen. Very refreshing.
