I published the first snapshot of my Read 
My galivating to London and Stockholm. This month I stay with enough time in my hands to publish the second.
The novel I am reading is Your absence is darkness By Jón Kalman Stefásson (Translated Philip Roughton), a petition, or at least in my terms, so I am halfway. Located in an Icelandic fjord, he follows a writer who suffers from amnesia, but he is careful to hide him from the small community that seems to be well welcoming who knows where. Stefásson weaves the stories of the characters and their ancestors through the writer’s narrative while waiting for a party to begin. I am enjoying it, but you need a few hours at the same time instead of immersing myself.
The collection of short stories I just started is the Irish writer Norah Hault’s Cocktail bar Originally published in 1950. A little soon to judge, but I was impressed by the opening article about a couple who organized a wedding in London, determined to recreate a truly Irish experience that 
They feel somewhat disenchanted by the behavior of their younger guests.
The non -fiction book I am reading It’s the poet Amy Key’s Blue arrangements who uses as the adored album and the comfort of his frame key, Joni Michell’s Blue, The Hook who sold me his book. Key reflects on her ambivalence about living alone in her forty years when she hoped to follow the conventional marriage and maternity route, something she had longed for. Beautifully written already raw, it is a very intimate memory, too sometimes.
What about you? What are you reading?
