Fox 8 reminds me of two quotes. One cited in a review of the book, from the author himself: "literature is a form of fondness-for-life. It is love for life taking verbal form." (Note to self: read said essay https://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/my-writing-education-a-timeline)
The other one, older, heard enough times over the past decade to shape parts of my mind: "In this world, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant. Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant."

i was really surprised by how this story could be so short and still invoke such strong emotion. it’s beautifully written, especially because of its simple tone and spelling.
there’s a paragraph spanning pages 45-46 that resonates with me as a perfect way to describe feelings of distrust coming from trauma—distrust of those who caused it, of those who are capable of causing it, and a general distrust of everything good.
it’s only less than 50 pages. the words are big and there are illustrations. it won’t take long to read, so i highly suggest reading it if you can.
