Our Weekend

The air felt like unrolled peat. The heat simply sapped, a force bereft of hesitation or mercy. I spent the weekend finishing Dewitt's The Last Samurai and Almost Dead by Assaf Gavron. I enjoyed both, the former was a case of curiosities, each tangent to be explored and savored. The latter was a surprising treat, an even handed novel about the Intifada which reveals a macabre humor about the world of suicide bombers.
