Finished reading: The Summer of Kim Novak by Håkan Nesser 📚Nesser writes a mesmerizing character in Erik. He is both transparent and opaque, a forty-nine year old remembering life at fourteen. The narrative of Erik’s internal life as he passes through adolecence and is fascinated by both women and “childish” pursuits is one of the truest depictions of the socialization of adult life I’ve read. Highly recommended. Translated by Saskia Vogel
