Faces in the Crowd has been one the most confusing novels I have read in a while. The novel finely blurs reality from fiction, making it even more complex for me to understand. The novel follows the story of a lady ( unnamed but I assume that it is the author herself ) and her […]

For my final reading this semester, I read “Faces in the Crowd” by Valeria Luiselli. As I am sure many of us can relate, this book was quite confusing and to some extent hard to follow along. I did not seem to get into the book like I hoped to and found myself putting it […]

For this week’s blog post, I will be discussing the novel “Money to Burn” by Ricardo Piglia. I found this book to be one of the more interesting reads this semester as I am a big fan of anything thriller. I really enjoy thriller movies and books as they keep you on your toes. I […]

For this week’s blog post, I read the novel “The Lover” by Marguerite Duras. To start, I feel as if I have many thoughts and opinions on this book but in some sense do not know how to articulate them as there is a lot to say. So, I am going to start from the […]

For this week’s blog post I read the novel “If on a Winter’s Night a Traveller” by Italo Calvino. At first, while I started to read this novel I was a bit confused as to what was going on as a new story would emerge while trying to finish a chapter. This is the first […]

To begin, the novel “The Time of the Doves” by Merce Rodoreda was a roller coaster of emotions as it had immense imagery and thought-provoking concepts. The novel is quite dark and heart-wrenching as there are very few happy moments and quite a lot of sad and hard ones. Throughout the semester we have read […]

For this week’s reading, I read the novel “Black Shack Alley ” by Joseph Zobel. Before choosing this novel, I read a preface on it which deeply caught my attention and interest. I enjoy reading novels about real-life events/ history which is what this story entailed. The novel truly lived up to its expectations making […]

For this week’s reading, I read the novel “Nada” by Carmen Leforet. I would like to start by saying, wow what a journey this book was to read. This book was dark and far from being light-hearted as it focused on gut-wrenching issues that families faced after the Spanish Civil War such as domestic struggles, […]
