Have you had a chance to read during all the holiday prep?

I have been extremely busy and haven’t had as much time as I would like! But I am really looking forward to Everything the Light Touches by Janice Pariat.

Here’s part of the summary from Amazon!

“Drawn richly from scientific and botanical ideas, Everything the Light Touches is a swirl of ever-expanding themes: the contrasts between modern India and its colonial past, urban and rural life, capitalism and centuries-old traditions of generosity and gratitude, script and “song and stone.” Pulsating at its center is the dichotomy between different ways of seeing, those that fix and categorize and those that free and unify. Pariat questions the imposition of fixity—of our obsession to place permanence on plants, people, stories, knowledge, land—where there is only movement, fluidity, and constant transformation. “To be still,” says a character in the book, “is to be without life.”’

Everything the Light Touches published in October and is available on our Amazon Storefront. Thank you @harperviabooks for this gifted copy!
