![]() ![]() ![]() On a related note… I haven’t watched it yet, but the Peacock adaptation of Dolly Alderton’s Everything I Know About Love seems to cover similar themes! Loved the book and excited to watch the show. (Thank you to the reader who alerted me to Caroline Cala Donofrio’s Substack, which is where I came across this book-and promptly bought it from her description). ![]() It’s cringey, but also insightful and recognizable. Annie begins making pack lunches because, “Somewhere, she’d read of a woman who supposedly got a down payment for a house together this way-by making sandwiches at home and skipping Starbucks.” We learn about how much Joy hates her stomach, and what she’s tried to do about it, before we learn anything else about her. Casale’s novel, out last month, encapsulates this endless onslaught of advice (from our moms, Oprah, other friends, magazines) in the minds of 30-something friends Annie and Joy. □ How to Fall Out of Love Madly by Jana Casale : There are certain snippets of advice you hear as a woman and internalize forever as prescriptions for how to do and be better. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() You find yourself asking: Is Cameron actually just laying in a bed at St. X, you are already thinking, “Okay, this is all in his head.” But the fantastical-ness of it draws you in, as does Cam’s growing love of life as he makes the most memorable friends along the way.

(Music in American Life) says this suggests some ancestral text in existence before 1888. Although there is a version by Chubby Parker, which is longer than the popular version, and a genuine song about railroad life. This is believed to have originated with an Irish comedy team, (Thomas F.) Casey and (Charles) Connelly, in the 1880s. ![]() The tarriers of the title is a mild slur in referencing the workers, drilling holes in rock to blast out railroad tunnels. “Drill, Ye Tarriers, Drill” is an American comic folk song composed in 1888 by Charles Connolly and Thomas Casey.

Jhumpa Lahiri, Gary Shteyngart, Paul Auster and Rick Moody all live in Brooklyn, and there was an unfortunate cluster of writers named Jonathan (among them Lethem, Safran Foer and Ames). “Brooklyn is repulsive with novelists, it’s cancerous with novelists,” Lethem says. Simultaneously, Brooklyn became a literary hot spot. ![]() “That environment was, for me, like constant nostalgic LSD,” he says. In Brooklyn, Lethem lived on the same street where he was raised. ![]() The move surprised many, in part because Lethem, a MacArthur “genius” Fellow, has made New York and its landscapes the center of his work - “Chronic City” (2009), “Fortress of Solitude” (2003) and 1999’s “Motherless Brooklyn,” the last of which Lethem calls “an all-out Valentine” to New York, the city where he grew up. ![]() ![]() Yet the tale was entertaining and held my attention all the way through, ending on a nice high note. Some of the scenes I felt were cliched, especially the declarations of love, and this made it hard to believe in parts of the story.
