I’ve recently become fascinated by stand-alone books with a small page-count that still manages to hit you right in the feels.
A prime example for me is Lorrie Moore’s “Who Will Run the Frog Hospital?”. What a gem.
“I cried for everyone and for all the scrabbly, funny love one sent out into the world like some hit song that enters space and bounds off to another galaxy, a tune so pretty you think the words are true, you do! There was never any containing a song like that, keeping it. It went off and out, speeding out of earshot or imagining or any reach at all, like a rocket invented in sleep.”
Any recommendations are welcome 😊
