I’ve just abandoned Of Strangers and Bees by Hamid Ismailov at page 164, realising that I was not sure which thread of the novel I was reading. Every intention of beginning again sometime in August, but a little frustrated.

I’m about halfway through The World Does Not Belong To Us by Natalia Garcia Freire. She’s an author from Ecuador and it’s a recounting of a childhood invaded by strangers. Quite creepy, nice translation.

I read Tender is the Flesh a couple of years ago and had the same emotional response to it as Under the Skin. I wonder how many other people have linked the two together.
