Book Review: "Monsters: A Fan's Dilemma" by Claire Dederer
I think that the argument in this book has been asked by many of us over the course of our lives and, in some respects, we have been shying away from saying what we really think about the whole ordeal in favour of presenting virtue and dishing out our own protest spirits - it is, however, an act of narcissism all the same. Of course you don't have to tell people what kind of media you do and do not consume. I went through entire years of knowing people who barely knew anything about me. Why? It wasn't important.

Book Review: "The Trouble with Happiness" by Tove Ditlevsen
The great thing about being able to read Tove Ditlevsen is being able to identify the prime causes for concern in human interaction whilst alongside it, ignoring red flags in your own life. The observations made within this text of short fiction may start off as small annoyances, little mistakes and boundaries unset - but they evolve into abuses, ignorances and intolerances for behaviour.

Book Review: "The Trees" by Percival Everett
I feel sorry for people who have not yet read anything by Percival Everett. Here's a story for you. I texted my brother one day about how I had bought some new books, explaining that anything by anyone called 'Percival' was bound to be good. I was so very wrong - it wasn't good, it was absolutely brilliant beyond my wildest dreams. Percival Everett is a master in dialogue, description, storytelling and more. He is a brilliant example of what it means to be a novelist and with his book The Trees, he only makes that ever clearer with his dark comedy, his Three-Billboards-esque-ideas and his brilliant writing that could make for an amazing Coen Brothers or Paul Thomas Anderson film someday. It would be a damn shame if it wasn't.
