The Shape of Things to Come
You know that magical feeling when you read a book at the EXACT right time in your life? That’s what’s happening to me at this moment, with Maud Casey’s The Shape of Things to Come. Confession: Maud is my MFA professor, so nah nah nah boo boo, I get to work with her in thesis hours next semester. Regardless of personal bias, this book is beautiful and heart-breaking and every other platitude on the dust jacket.
