after a complete divergence from the topic i will bring you to one of the other letters i received. well it was more of a package, bag, what have you.
and inside was a book.
This book to be exact
and with it came a quite fine envelope of black stationary, and inside this envelope was a note which read.
SAVOR THIS BOOK, IT IS BEAUTIFUL.
BEST WISHES, ----- ------
and here comes my personal plug for jonathan safran foer
HE IS PHENOMENAL, hands down one of the most enjoyable writers to read that has existed. I recently read Everything Is Illuminated and it was breath taking, and now I am just getting into Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, and all I have seen is greatness.
cunning linguist, he really gets how to write from a narrative perspective. and he doesnt stop there, he takes far reaching and very realistic subject matter and makes it surreal.
love this man
oh
ok containing myself
sorry that i took up so much blog with personal thoughts
i think it is because the letter is short
recap:
EXTREMELY LOUD AND INCREDIBLY CLOSE is one person's means of survival. This is them sharing, literally sharing in sending me the book, the passion for life.
