Retro Review: "Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man" by Mary L. Trump

Initial reaction: Read this in a day and I have many thoughts, probably too many to be a coherent summary of everything this book delved into. Solid read and well-narrated by the author in the audiobook version. If you want the short version, this is a combination of a personal memoir, anatomy of an flawed family dynamic, massive tea spilling on a psychosocial level of the 45th president, and…

#alphabetical order. im not ranking them #i still have two more froma zeitlin essays to read (one new and one a reread) in the next few days though #and its possible one of those might knock amy richlin off the rest (nothing personal; its a great piece just not my area) #but if im willing to have two things by the same scholar i would have to rethink including grethlein 'the poetics of the bath in the iliad' #some of my favorite articles/book chapters of the year are not on jstor though... #bill beck 'lost in the middle: story time and discourse time in the iliad'!!! #and lyndsay coo has a 2020 chapter updating and expanding this 2013 article that is 🔥🔥🔥 #and of course judith mossman 'women's voices in sophocles' which is what send me to garrison 1989 and rood 2010 but is not itself on jstor #i also reread some of melissa mueller's objects as actors book which is wonderful as always #and i would be incredibly tempted to put william m calder iii's tereus article on a top ten list for sheer entertainment value #jstor wrapped #mine

In this wake of (exciting!! wonderful!!) influx of news and fans discovering (or rediscovering) red, white, and royal blue for the first time as we get ready for the movie to come out, I would like to take a moment to recognize those that have loved this story since the beginning. I see you. I recognize you. I think you're cool. (and if you're just now falling in love with Alex, and Henry, I think you're pretty awesome, too)

#i read this book summer 2020 and it changed my life #truly a light in the covid darkness #rip to the rwrb playlist #i reread this book every two weeks #long live the london scene #red white and royal blue #rwrb #rwarb #alex claremont diaz #alex and henry #hrh prince henry

no you don't get it. i literally love stories where they dive into people's hearts/minds (literally or figuratively) sm it's my favourite type of storytelling.

okay all of the reviews for "severance" by ling ma said it was a hilariously deadpan satire on the post-apocalypse — and maybe that was true in 2018 — but now that i've read it i can say i probably laughed Once and felt a bone-deep nihilistic dread Constantly. the bit about the protagonist's company gifting her a self-care kit of 2 N95 masks, a nutrient bar, and an expanded insurance plan in response to a worldwide pandemic isn't really funny post-2020, it's just realism.

#good novel i felt actually insane reading how many parts of the 2020 pandemic ling ma accidentally predicted #and then felt insane experiencing Everything Else #idk i just love works about corporate gothic and alienation and shame and isolation. and severance hit like every beat #also i think the way the protagonist's immigrant experience tied in with her behaviours and the plot was just really clever #that she is essentially saved by and doomed by her lack of home. her severance from society if you will. ba dum tss #i figured out i can check out books from my library through a phone app. and then stole all my friends' library card information. im balling #beepbeep.txt #literature

look if the general election ends up being biden v trump (which it very likely will), there are plenty of logical and pragmatic reasons i'd want biden to win, obviously. but the pettiest reason is that i just never want to hear about donald fucking trump ever again

#text only #politics//// #whine whine complain complain #i'm tired of his big head #i'm tired of all the ~~exposes~~ written about him by former allies who were *so sure* the leopards wouldn't eat their faces! #i'm tired of people memory-holing 2016-2020 #i'm tired of people acting like he's funny #i'm tired of the circus #it's nice when politicians are boring and competent because if i want entertainment i'll watch a movie or read a book!
