About two books
I read the novel Rosa candida by Icelandic writer Audur Ava Olafsdottir. And of course I was proud of myself for knowing that “candida” is latin for white, and that I learned that from the fungi Candida albicans. The non drivel thing to write is that the novel was described as a feel good book for thinking people. And yeah, it’s a feel good book. Then the main character has a daughter that’s the same age as my youngest niece, 8-10 month old. So I thought about her reading it.
Then I try to read Parable of the sower Octavia Butler. It is difficult to read, perhaps I could force myself to finish it, I have already read around half of the novel. It’s not a feel good book to read, if anyone thought that: violence, barbarism, rape, so much rape.
