An Honest Look

These are my standout reads from April. Each of them shares a different facet of the human experince. They are strikingly direct in their myriad ways and are not for the faint-hearted. 

Roman Stories by Jhumpa Lahiri 
The quality of this prose stands out! There is something so real about Lahiri's descriptions, like looking thru a film camera. 

Get the Picture: A Mind-Bending Journey Among the Inspired Artists and Obsessive Art Fiends Who Taught Me How to See by Bianca Bosker
An investigative journalists experience with the art world on an honest quest to understand art.  

Terror, Love and Brainwashing: Attachment in Cults and Totalitarian Systems by Alexandra Stein
An excellent unflinching guide to relationships and how they are utilized by controlling systems. 

After World by Debbie Urbanski
The structure of this book adds so much to the specific prose style. It is thoroughly integrated with human and sentient AI voices and explores the experience of the last living human from a first person narrative.
