Very well written, emotionally bleak novel about a high-end prostitute working in Manhattan. A first-person narrative in clear, precise prose perfectly suited to the main character’s emotional disintegration. Even though you see it coming, devastating conclusion. A quick, powerful read.
Bhagavad
Gita
A beautiful and profoundly spiritual text. This, more than any other “sacred” text I have read seems purely spiritual and conveys an understanding of life. I do not like the explanations for why it is acceptable for Arjuna to kill people, Krishna is a harsh god. I also am uncomfortable with the Lord/God references even though they can be understood to portray a reverence for the foundation of existence throughout the universe, which I liked. Loved the clarity and simple beauty of Mitchell’s translation.
