housingworksbookstore asked: For some weird reason I feel confident LEAVING THE ATOCHA STATION makes sense for your BELL JAR asker.

This makes sense to me, too, though it may be the furthest afield yet. The problem is that it’s written and narrated by a man, which, I think it’s safe to say, has been done before. And as much as it’s about crippling anxieties, the stakes feel lower, somehow.

That said, it’s a good book. Remember when Sam [198SuchaBaby-2012, RIP, we’ll missyooooo] ran this tumblr and it was, for a while, the Ben Lerner fan blog? There’s a reason for that.
