I agree; she's an amazing writer, but I find I need to brace myself when I sit down to read her. I have Hunger partly read, and go back to it as often as I can, but it's a read that hits close to home, so I have to choose my moments carefully.
This is actually a collection of essays from all sorts of writers, but I'm just not up to reading rape stories. I wanted to be clear that it isn't the writing that's making me drop it; I'm just not in the right headspace. And I'm not sure I'll be in the right headspace for the foreseeable future...
It's tough reading material at any moment, and hard to find a headspace for indeed.
I still haven't read this one. I don't know if I will.
It's well done but the subject matter is difficult, to put it mildly.
