Book 16/52 - #Attrib by #EleyWilliams (2017) | Attrib. is Williams’ debut collection of short stories that all focus, in some way, on the difficulties of communication. She explores where it gets complicated to express what one is truly trying to say, and where it is downright impossible. Williams’ writing is, above all, fun. Fun seems like too much of diminishing word, like I’m trying to condescend her writing, but I’m really not. It is fun because she has complete mastery over the words she uses, each one precisely picked for the desired affect she is trying to instil in the reader. What is interesting about Attrib. is that the author is always present in the text (bar a few stories), and usually this is something I’m against. I don’t want to be impressed by the author’s skill, but instead I just want to be in the story. But with this novel, I just wanted more of the author: I wanted her to come out of the text and show me something even more intricate she has created with language. If you’re a fan of short stories and the minutiae of language, then this collection is for you. | #atleastonebookaweek #bookstagram #bookshelf #bookreview #bookrecommendation #booklover #bookish #bookworm #bookaddict #booklove #bibliophile #bookstagrammer #booksofinstagram #booknerd -- source link
