Published : 2021 || Format : print || Location : Colombia ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ What was it about the country that kept everyone hostage to its fantasy? The previous month, on its own soil, an American man went to his job at a plant and gunned down fourteen coworkers, and last spring alone there were four different school shootings.

I know Helen's going to be disappointed about that, so I'll be giving it a try once more. I also picked The Uncoupling by Meg Wolitzer to read, and so far I don't know what to think of it. It is certainly well-written but I'm on the fence about the unfettered writing about sex. These are the books I'm reading this week.
