"The truth is: I do not know... I seek... I have not yet found. Only with this in mind can I feel alive and look at you without shame." Federico Fellini, 8 1/2
Curious about the world through the eyes of an atheist? Read this book. From fundamental thoughts to scientific inquiries about the true nature of life and reality, this is a thrilling read for both the religious and the irreligious. ~ Reviewed by Alex Bell
Love and grief bound up in a series of letters between the famous German poets, Bachmann and Celan, detailing the passions and turmoils of their affair. An engaging page-turner that glimmers with the wide canvas of ardure, and what it's like to carry on when love can never be fully realized. ~ Reviewed by Alex Bell
Malina is life! Organic and visceral, Bachman paints a shattered portrait of an unnamed woman, and in reading this, I fell in love and became lost myself, as the narrator does, in the personas of this book. Mostly lost in the western world, Malina holds up to the greatest works in our western cannon. It's a dazzling spectacle of female identity that transcends gender constraints to become a truly sublime piece of fiction. ~ Reviewed by Alex Bell
This! A new philosophy for our time that's still rooted in the past. I burned through this book so fast I forgot it was 400 pages, I even reread passages I enjoyed, because it was so engaging and thought provoking. Anyone interested in Knausgård's My Struggle series will devour this. This is my new favorite philosophy book. ~ Reviewed by Alex Bell
A stranger comes to town, promising a village of writers the chance to see their work published--the dream--but the catch is he's the Devil, come to devour the souls of everyone you know and bring the town to ruin, and you're the only one who knows the truth. An old-world style folktale about mob mentality and the fear of evil that stems from human vulnerability. If you could kill the Devil, would you? ~ Reviewed by Alex Bell
