Long Island: Just fine. Very little plot and most of the writing are the characters’ thoughts. A Northern Light: I wanted more from this. The most interesting part was the protagonist’s descriptions of living in Greenland. Long Island Compromise: She is such an excellent writer but I found it hard to care about any of these characters. The Life Impossible: Not as good as Midnight Library but pretty good. Didion & Babitz: I really liked this. I read non-fiction about once a year, and this was a good one. The author has a very casual, conversational style and it inspired me to (revisit) Didion and read Babitz for the first time.
