I flew through
Beth Ann Fennelly's
most recent book,
Heating & Cooling.
Described as
52 Micro-Memoirs,
the pitch couldn't be
more on point: here
is a 110 page gem
where most stories don't
surpass the page.
For every few
poetic reflections
no longer than a paragraph
(feeling a bit
like prose poems),
Fennelly adds a piece
that is a bit longer.
By longer, I mean two pages
instead of one. It's a fast
read and a delight
in every aspect;
from stolen beer to various
kisses to Vince Vaughn
to chickens on fire
and everything in between,
this is a whirlwind of a read,
one that will have you underlining
passages of insight, laughing
into hysterics, and nodding
your head at having experienced
something similar.
A feel good book,
one that will have myself
seeking out something more
from Fennelly, as this is my first
time reading her work.
