I’d be by myself, with no one interrupting me to ask where their other shoe is, or where the car keys are, or to tell me that I’m needed on set. But in theory, it would be alone in a cabin by a lake. I work a lot and I have kids and a husband and about a thousand side hustles. Well, I should start by saying that I don’t get my ideal reading experience ever. That little girl Kya stole my heart.ĭescribe your ideal reading experience (when, where, what, how). My September book club pick: Delia Owen’s “Where the Crawdads Sing.” It’s a heart-wrenching novel about a little girl named Kya growing up by herself in a fishing community in the swamplands of North Carolina, intercut with a young man’s unsolved murder. Someone told me about it a year ago and I’m finally getting to it now. I loved Moshfegh’s 2015 literary thriller, “ Eileen.” Also on my nightstand are an Oliver Sacks book and “Stay With Me,” the debut novel by Ayobami Adebayo that’s set in Nigeria. I just started Ottessa Moshfegh’s “ My Year of Rest and Relaxation.” It’s about a wealthy girl in New York trying to find her way.
The actor and author of the new book “Whiskey in a Teacup” wishes she had five days in a cabin just to read, with “no emails, no text messages and no obligations or deadlines.”
