Grief Is the Thing with Feathers A Novel
by Max Porter ★★★★★ finished 21 July 2026
I picked up this book at Exile in Booksville, a bookstore in Chicago. The little slip written by an employee said that it would "stick in the recesses of your mind long after you finish reading it". I couldn't resist.
It's adorable and funny, absurd and poetic. It will stick in some of my mind recesses. It was such a profound and mundane portrait of grief in a family.
