Ongoingness

This essay-length book is basically the author's reflection on her lifelong obsessive diary keeping. Her habit is one way, perhaps, of dealing with our evolving relationship with time as we age. Or maybe it only serves to highlight the changes.

At any rate, this New Yorker review of the book is very good, but almost as long as the book itself.

For the 2018 Read Harder Challenge: “A one-sitting book.”

If you look at the page count of this book you know it's short, can be classified as a novella in length - but then you get into it and you realize that there's next to nothing written on the pages for the majority of this. Rather disappointing as I'd love to have seen this exploration for memory/life fattened up to be a jucier read. Because such little was touched upon, I can't recommend it.
