The Letters of Shirley Jackson by Shirley Jackson

5.0

I wish dearly that Shirley Jackson would have lived much longer and been treated much better by her husband. She shits gold and I’m going to read everything she’s ever written. I hope more of her letters surface, or more of her stories. I’d love to learn more about her creative process. It was such a beautiful experience getting to watch her and her children grow through these letters, and the fact that her son created this volume and that she is clearly so loved by him made the sad knowledge that her life would end at the end of this book a little easier. One of the best books I’ve read all year.
