Big fan of George Saunders commencement speech on kindness and how it made me feel. (Give it a read it if you have not. )
Looking for this feeling in a novel. Something relaxing, kind, genuine, good.
Some of my favorite authors are Murakami, Richard Russo, Richard Powers, Irving, McEwan. Fathers and Sons(Turgenev) and East of Eden are probably my favorite classics.
I’ve read All the Light We Cannot See, A Gentleman in Moscow , Man called Ove…all gave me that type of feeling.
