2. I Don’t Care: Stories by Agota Kristof
Translated by Chris Andrews
Best hour and half of reading I’ve done in a while. This collection is a stunning quiver of 25 very short arrows, sharp and slicing right into your heart, your gut, your brain. Thematically they circle around loss, exile and searching for home whatever and whoever home means. Some stories are darkly funny, others are heartbreaking. Together they perforated me.
Favorite story: “The Streets” but ask me tomorrow and it might be “My Father” and the third day it might be “A Northbound Train.” #2025books
