This novella was tagged on in my HC edition of “Beautiful World, Where Are You?” and it's a simply delicious read. Would love to see this story further explored but I'm quite happy experiencing it as it is in short form. Can Sally do any wrong? Doubt it ;)
2.7:
Now that it's been a while since I've read this, and having become more familiar with Sally's writing, my main thought is that I'd like her much better if she stuck to shorter stories. That way, it's loads easier to digest her unsavory characters.
a short story to see if Sally Rooney's writing is for you
idk how to rate short stories but i loved reading this so:
rating-4/5
Death was, of course, the most ordinary thing that could happen, at some level I knew that. Still, I had stood there waiting to see the body in the river, ignoring the real living bodies all around me, as if death was more of a miracle than life was.”
I read this because i wanted to know if Sally rooney's writing was for me or not.
lack of quotations.
transpiring between the characters.
longer
short
depth and nuance,
complexity of relationships, human emotions and just mundane life experiences is something she's incredible at.
relieved i loved this
This is a great book to decide if you want to give her work a chance.
