    I cannot speak the praises of this book enough. Such a wildly breathtaking story of love, laughter, shame, and grief expertly interwoven with layers of generational trauma. This story is told with bald candor and an easy grace. Read it. You will not be the same.

    as someone frequently critical of rf kuang’s work i do enjoy alice as a character in theory, i think as far as her protagonists go she’s probably the one kuang allows to be most flawed without getting on a soapbox about it and imo much more interesting than rin or robin (never read yellowface). a lot of telling not showing going on rn as far as those flaws go though ie her internalised misogyny, her acceptance of cruelty in academia, her self righteousness, her pathological jealousy. but i have hope!

    Mrs Dean: It’s 11pm and I should stop telling this story. Mr Lockwood: Don’t worry, I can sleep in until 10! Mrs Dean: Okay, I’ll keep talking, but I’ll skip a few boring years. Mr Lockwood: Absolutely not! You’re required to stay awake forever! And don’t worry, I won’t make you miss your chores tomorrow. Up and at ‘em as early as usual!
