Strangers I Know by Claudia Durastanti
emotional
reflective
slow-paced
3.5
Started very lukewarm on this and then ended up enjoying it! Pleasantly surprised
The dreamy non-chronological structure worked well for me. lots of interesting thoughts about family, disability and deafness, class, love and relationships. Repetitive at times but in the way where your friend is telling you a story in a kind of meandering way; I wasn’t mad about it.
Would happily pick up another Claudia Durastanti book over lots of other contemporary literary fiction (autofiction?) authors. I’m often a hater in this category though so don’t listen to me!!!
