Alice Walker recommended The Days of Abandonment in Books (curated)

The Days of Abandonment
Elena Ferrante, Ann Goldstein | 2006 | Fiction & Poetry
(0 Ratings)
Book Favorite

"This book is so raw and true to the feelings of abandonment when a mate ups and leaves that it is a bit scary. I especially appreciate Ferrante’s clear-eyed depiction of the abandoned mother with the snarly children who don’t understand and don’t care either."

"I’m also showing off that I’ve actually gotten through Swann’s Way, the first volume in Proust’s monumental work In Search of Lost Time. Just getting through those first 100 pages, where he could not fall asleep until his mother kissed him good night, was an achievement alone."

Movie Favorite

"One of the most intimate films I have ever seen. With nothing more than recited letters from Akerman’s mother and largely static shots of streets and subways, the film is an impossibly personal portrait of New York, young adulthood, parents, and the inexorable passage of time."

TV Season Favorite

"My first time watching the series, though I remember my elder sister being obsessed with it. Honestly, it feels very calming and self-loving to listen to a mother and daughter duo discuss coffee and the intricacies of Billy Idol’s pout on his album cover. Simpler times."

Jane Austen, Tim Luscombe | 2012 | Film & TV
7.7 (12 Ratings)
Book Favorite

"I’d definitely need some Jane Austen on a desert island, so I choose her most complex book. Lots of people (including Austen’s mother) find the heroine Fanny “insipid,” but as a shy person I identify with her and love how she learns to speak up for herself."

I liked this one, but it's bugging me that I don't know enough of the back stories to work out what they've messed up or tweaked. I did come across the fact that Mystique is Nightcrawler's mother... which made sense, but confused me to no end.
