a collection of poisonous surfaces

Ghost Lover by Lisa Taddeo

July 23, 2022 by tiny_bookbot Leave a Comment

CBR Bingo Square: Snake I don’t read a lot of short stories these days except for work, so when the description of Lisa Taddeo’s Ghost Lover piqued my interest, I went ahead and put a library hold on it. I felt optimistic: I’d liked both Carmen Maria Machado’s and Helen Oyeyemi’s short story collections when I read them in the past couple years. Well. Taddeo’s a solid writer, for sure, but I did not like this collection much at all. I stubbornly finished so I could […]

Women’s pain manifested as madness

Animal by Lisa Taddeo

August 8, 2021 by Rooooomie Leave a Comment

The world had set me up to believe that it was women who went mad. It was simply women’s pain that manifested as madness. Bingo: People CW: rape, sexual assault, suicide Joan has just witnessed a man shooting himself in a crowded restaurant, where she was eating dinner with her lover, a married man. After this traumatic event, she decides to drive from New York to California, looking for a woman named Alice, who she thinks can help her unravel her past. One of the […]

It’s the nuances of desire that hold the truth of who we are at our rawest moments.

Three Women by Lisa Taddeo

October 29, 2020 by Sophia 2 Comments

CBR12 Bingo: No Money! I discovered Three Women by Lisa Taddeo like many of my books–on NPR’s Best Books of 2019. I decided to use it to fill my No Money! bingo square. This was by far the easiest square for me to get. I get almost all of the books I read from the library, so most of the books I’ve read this year would work. Three Women is an apt description for this non-fiction account of the sex lives of three women. Their stories vary dramatically, but […]

Uncomfortable but worthwhile

Three Women by Lisa Taddeo

October 27, 2020 by Wanderlustful 1 Comment

Three Women is the apt title for Taddeo’s literary non-fiction reporting on the sex lives of three women:  Maggie, a 17 year old in a relationship with her high school teacher; Lina, a suburban wife having a one-sided love affair with her high school boyfriend; and Sloane, a married restaurant owner who has sleeps with men her husband picks out for her. Taddeo writes extremely well- this is non-fiction that reads like fiction.  Her skill is not only how she strings together a sentence, but […]
