Someday she’d take silk. Oh yes. She’d don the white wig.

Watch out.

She was going to clean out the constitution

of all its woman-hating nonsense.

The special place of women in the home.

That got her goat.

With lawyerly Vim

she would scour it all out.

Mount challenge to it.

In honor of her mother and all the mothers.

Fuck housework.

Down with dishcloths.

Let’s have raging, ragged, ruinous, riotous, ravening, rabid women.

Real women.

None of these man-made fucking women.

That’s what she used to say.

No doubt would still say it, wherever she was.

Hello all and happy #stacksaturday to you all! An early post for me today as this evening I’m off to see a Will Young gig. As inspired by the lovely Kelly @smeets_x I’m sharing some common names on my shelves. Today it’s Diana/Diane. Have you read any of these authors? I’ve just finished The New Wilderness and I’m slowly indulging myself in Voyager. Once Upon A River and Ordinary People are on my TBR. Have a great weekend everyone 🤗😘 #bookstagram #scottishbookstagrammer #authornamestack #ordinarypeople #dianaevans #womensprizelonglist #onceuponariver #dianesetterfield #dianagabaldon #voyager #outlanderseries #dianecook #thenewwilderness #bookerprizelonglist #booksineedtoread https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckk7iB7rqNk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"He peers into the kitchen of the boy's house and watches the child drinking milk and he sees the cold liquid pouring into the boy's belly, trickle puddle pond lake, into the cellular cathedrals of his organs, into his bones. Dead Papa Toothwort is drunk on the hydration and nourishment of the boy. Glorious, he sings, as he swings his way back into the woods, flinging himself in thirty-foot arcs between telegraph poles, dressed as a barn owl with car-tyre arms, Glorious trick of the species." ~ (I read this book in a day; just couldn't put it down. What a unique narrative voice. And I fell in love with Lanny. Highly recommend.) ~ #lanny #maxporter #milk #foodinliterature #bookerprize2019 #bookerprizelonglist https://www.instagram.com/p/B1bX72EhEYt/?igshid=qjgcbpwj91v1

QUESTION: Have you seen this year’s Booker prize longlist? 📚 Let’s talk the Booker Prize for a second. Maybe I’m just cynical but it feels like they’re trying to make amends for giving it to Margaret Atwood last year. Especially when she was awarded it for her career and not for The Testaments. 13 debut authors being included is a great thing but what is the betting that they give it to Hilary Mantel regardless? Now that they feel like they’ve covered themselves. I know the Booker Prize has always been nonsense, as are most literary awards, but it’s getting silly now. I applaud the diversity of this year’s list but wish it hadn’t been nominated by American writers. 9 out of 13 seems like way too much to me. 📚 My Instagram

"Ayoola is wearing dungarees—she is the only person I know who can still pull those off—and she is licking ice cream, probably from the parlor around the corner. She paused the licking, not because she is moved by Peju's words, but because she is aware that it is proper to pause whatever is one is doing when in the presence of someone who is grieving. I spent three hours explaining that particular etiquette to her one Sunday afternoon." ~ (The Booker Prize shortlist was announced this morning and My Sister the Serial Killer didn't make the cut, though I'm more bummed out about Lanny not making it. A shoutout to @prettiletti for lending me this book, buying me this ice cream, and taking this photo for me 🍦📸) ~ #mysistertheserialkiller #oyinkanbraithwaite #icecream #bookerprize2019 #bookerprizelonglist #bookerprizeshortlist https://www.instagram.com/p/B18tqKTAdqY/?igshid=1pbinjeeztktl

"Ayoola sighs theatrically but fetches the spinach from the pantry [...] She chops the spinach quickly and roughly, wielding the knife like a child would, with no care toward what the finished product will look like. I am tempted to stop her. The house girl tries not to laugh. I suspect that Ayoola is going out of her way to frustrate me." ~ #mysistertheserialkiller #oyinkanbraithwaite #spinach #bookerprize2019 #bookerprizelonglist https://www.instagram.com/p/B16PAGPghJs/?igshid=9et8i6f94u3

"An apple takes flesh from the open cup of his palm, rising slowly from a splash of green matter, russeting as it rounds. A freckly, perfectly realised apple, just right for the job." ~ (For two fantastic reviews I direct you to the eloquent @booksmendbrokenhearts and jonathangolding_books 💥) ~ #lanny #maxporter #apple #foodinliterature #bookerprize2019 #bookerprizelonglist https://www.instagram.com/p/B1eEgxygWG_/?igshid=xh2clu3tvv7b
