Dreaming of Dead People by Rosalind Belben review – rivals anything by Virginia Woolf

‘If this novel is as confessional as it seems, it is truly fearless: death, ageing, anorgasmia, loneliness, despair and madness are all here, jostling for attention, just as they do for many of us, for all we may seek to tune them out’ Dreaming of Dead People is @theguardian.com's Book of the Day!✨

Thank you to @andotherstories.bsky.social for sending "Landscape with Landscape" by ol' Gerald Murnane! It's out in January. I haven't read Murnane for six or seven years. Now remembering the experience of reading him, which remembering is itself of course very Murnaney in and of itself.
