The English Understand Wool
Notes
Helen DeWitt is absolutely one of my favorite living authors. When I saw a new one available, it was an instant purchase. This is something between a short story and a novella, packaged up in a kids storybook binding.
I don't really want to say anything about the plot of this book, except to say that I loved it and immediately made Erika read it.

Quotes
More people gave me invitations. I did not think they would have given me invitations if I had been talking about my feelings instead of dressing with éclat and playing bridge with flair and playing the piano when a party was off to a dull start. So perhaps there were people who would like to hear about feelings, but I did not think they were people I would want to know.Quoted on April 15, 2026
