And then the breakdown in the car after she finds out her necklace is fake and realizes Judah didn’t tell her about the offer from VIM. Like, that’s how it happens, at least for me. Infertility stuff happens and I’m fine, but it all comes out once something else bad happens. Read more

I loved how when she gets the news from the doctor, she doesn’t break down and cry or act devastated, she just sort of accepts it. I knew then, even before she reveals later that that was her 5th miscarriage, that it was something she’d experienced multiple times. That’s what it feels like - you can’t help but get… Read more

Yeah, that part really got me in the end too. In the beginning, her future descendant is comforting the viewer too - we all think everything will be okay because we see the “proof.” But in the end, our hopes and beliefs are just as crushed as Princess Carolyn’s are.

It makes me want to scream, “No, you don’t care about a culture of life because if you did, you would enact programs that protect pregnant women and the children once they’re… Read more

So right. Pregnant right now with my first and have been kept up at night thinking about what kind of world he will live in. This has end-stage capitalism stamped all over it. Read more

And let’s not even talk about how the current ruling generation have fucked this coming of age generation’s pensions, healthcare, housing, and quality of life while giving us a toxic planet to deal with before then expecting us to be grateful for that because at least there isn’t a war on.

It sounds a little bit like Batuman is succesfully doing what Curtis Sittenfeld tried to do in her second novel. Read more

So someone wrote a novel about my college years. Das cool. Read more
