The Angel Esmeralda: Nine Stories by Don DeLillo
3.0
These days I tend to read short stories from new writers (probably written in a short spate of years) rather than collections from a seasoned writer spaced over many years, between novels.
*Creation is beautiful - travel escapism in the pandemic is also nice, and I would love to go to Trinidad and Tobago some day but it won't be anything like this.
***Human Moments in World War III was comfortingly bleak during the pandemic (sorry for citing the pandemic everytime), similar to reading Drew Magary's dystopian novel recently.
** Midnight in Doestoevsky must be about Oberlin. But I assume anyone who went to a school in the cold thinks it's about their uni/college.
