A review by lizawall
Dept. of Speculation by Jenny Offill

this was great to read on a trip because it is so absorbing and even, i want to say, entertaining, although not in like a belittling way! it was not great to read on a trip because it added to the defamiliarization of being a way from home in a way that was a little too unmooring. this book made me feel actually less scared than usual about parenting, but more scared than usual about marriage. somehow especially unsettling to be reading at the time the supreme court rules there is no union more profound than marriage.
