#ReadWomen 2023 First Quarter

This is a bit overdue and here are all the books I read January-March 2023!


I'm off to a bit of a slow start, and this quarter has definitely been marked by lacklustre fiction. I really like Emezi's book, but the rest of the fiction picks here were rather dull.

The music memoirs - Shine Bright by Danyel Smith and Stay True  by Hua Hsu were beautiful.

  1. You Made a Fool of Death With Your Beauty by Akwaeke Emezi
  2. The Lonely City: Adventures in the Art of Being Alone by Olivia Laing
  3. Death in Her Hands by Ottessa Moshfegh
  4. Heaven by Mieko Kawakami
  5. People Person by Candice Carty-Williams
  6. Shine Bright: A Very Personal History of Black Women in Pop by Danyel Smith
  7. The Last Karankawas by Kimberly Garza
  8. The Woo-Wo: How I Survived Ice Hockey, Drug Raids, Demons, and my Crazy Chinese Family by Lindsay Wong
  9. Stay True: A Memoir by Hua Hsu
  10. Self-Portrait with Nothing by Aimee Pokwatka 
  11. Ogadinma: Or, Everything Will Be All Right by Ukamaka Olisakwe

9 Reasons Why Zack on Gilmore Girls is the Worst

Image
Of all the men in the Gilmore Girls world, I think Zack was the worst. Here's nine reasons why. I'm currently re-watching Gilmore girls for the umpteenth time, and once more I find myself loathing Zack in particular. Normally we all get caught up in Luke vs. Christopher, Dean vs. Jess vs. Logan, etc, but I think these debates distract viewers from realizing that Zack is the worst Significant Other of all the women in the show. I think the actor Todd Lowe does a great job portraying Zack, so my critique is def not his performance , my issue is the  character of Zack   who is sooo contemptible. In a way, Lowe's performance of Zack is all the more remarkable - when it comes to the Bad Men of Gilmore Girls, Zack rarely tops the list. I think it's because his many flaws are so *shrug* boys will be boys. As viewers I think we're meant to be distracted by the explosive incidents related to Logan's elitism, Mitchum's tyranny, Dean's cheating, Marty's obvio

Best of Helen Oyeyemi's "Peaces"

Image
Here is a selection of memorable quotes from Peaces by Helen Oyeyemi. Painting above: The Lovers by Leonora Carrington (c.1987) You run the romantic gauntlet for decades without knowing who exactly it is you're giving and taking such a battering in order to reach. You run the gauntlet without knowing whether the person whose favour you seek will even be there once you somehow put that path strewn with sensory confetti and emotional gore behind you. And then, by some stroke of fortune the gauntlet concludes, the person does exist after all, and you become that perpetually astonished lover from so many of the songs you used to find endlessly disingenuous. p.5 If you stuck out your tongue it would dance there, right at the top: the fizz of conditionality. p.7 I'm sure almost no one deludes themselves that all their ancestors were decent. Pick a vein, any vein: mud mixed with lightning that flows through, an unruly fusion of bad blood and good. p.16 And then there's the look i

"...the scale of my ambition"

Image
  above: from King by Florence + the Machine I'm increasingly/always thinking derision of ambition as a legacy of imperialist white supremacist capitalist patriarchy, here are a few quotes below--Pemberton and Smith are Black, Whyte is not. Back then, being ambitious wasn't cool. Many of the bands were perfectly happy just trying to meet women and drink beer. You were expected to have that Canadian attitude of false humility. Even if you thought what you were doing was good or interesting, you could never verbalize it. It wasn't that far removed from the '90s slacker era where the preferred pose was aloofness. - from Bedroom Rapper: Cadence Weapon on Hip-Hop, Resistance, and Surviving the Music Industry by Rollie Pemberton Ambition ultimately withers all secrets in its glare before those secrets have had time to come to life from within and then thwarts the generosity and maturity that ripens the discourse of a lifetime's dedication to work. - from Consolations: T
