I’m Not Crying, I’m Weeping With Joy

Eulogy for My Mama (Pho)

Posted on November 25, 2010 by erineph

Posted on November 13, 2010 by erineph

I talked about it enough and bought it like a month ago, but now I’m finally starting Jonathan Franzen’s Freedom. It’s a real intellectually perverse kick to open a thick novel for the first time, knowing that you have every … Continue reading →
