It's one of my favourite books because the exploration of trauma and how positive relationships can help us cope/overcome it is just masterful. For me, it has always been a book about friendship and how it can be the light that guids us out of the darkest times. It IS extremely sad (although "sad" doesn't even cover the despair and helplessness I felt reading it) and there are literally trigger warnings for everything you can possibly think of in this book (maybe except for animal cruelty) but I say it's worth the read if you think you can take it.

I think that the amount of suffering experienced by the characters in this book is unrealistic tbh and it feels very manipulative. It covers very sensitive topics, but it doesn't do them justice, it does it mainly for shock value. I mean how many times can one person be raped by different people in their life statistically? In this book it happens way too often, not to mention other troubles.

I think A Little Life is written really well, but I'm honestly always a little surprised at how it's so many people's favourite book. I read an article that described it as "a panopticon to the misery suffered by the people who can disconnect from it." which really struck a chord. Something about that book, and the latter half of it just never sat right.

You should check out some bulgarian literature! Some classics are "under the yoke" by Ivan Vazov (aka one of THE most significant pieces of literature in bulgarian history), the peach thief by Emillyan Stanev, the iron candlestick by Dimitar Talev. I absolutely adored the iron candlestick, I literally finished it two days ago and it was so good!

@junnapiskuliyska716

2 жыл бұрын

@@rayaanne1719 hmmmm that's a really good question. I haven't read a lot of bulgarian books translated in english, because bulgarian literature rarely gets translated in english tbh (except for the really popular books). With that in mind, I don't think that the difference would be that big. You do need some historical context for "under the yoke" and "the iron candlestick" tho. Bulgaria was under the ottoman rule for about 5 centuries and they (and the greeks, but that's another subject for another day) really tried to remove any trace of our culture. Till a certain point, church ceremonies were held in greek, not bulgarian. You have these rich people ( I have no idea how they called them in the english translation but the чорбаджии in bulgarian) that often sided with the turks aka betrayed the nation. For additional context - bulgaria gets the desired independent church in 1870, and then in 1878 bulgaria gets freed from the ottoman rule with the help of russia (I am not just saying this for fun, there is a lot of foreshadowing for this event in the iron candlestick). I think that's it. In those novels, the Bulgarian language is a bit difficult to read, even for me, but they probably simplified it a lot for the translations.

It would be so cool if he did like a series where he dedicated a video to reading the famous literature of a different country/culture every month or so!

I read The Underground Railroad in a lit class and we talked a lot about how the monotony of the writing was the POINT of the book, because we often talk about these topics in a way that's so dramatic and outrageous when in reality, slavery was happening everywhere in the USA. It's not a big special story, it is a version of a story that was happening to every enslaved person in America. I do agree that other books about the topic that do enhance and tell the stories in strong detail are important and can be more entertaining to read. But I think it's also cool/important to read about it in a way that really enhances (for me, anyway) the idea that it wasn't a special or singular story, it was a common one.

@jack_edwards

Dua has an immaculate taste. A Little Life is also one of my best books of all time.

If you liked A Little Life I would highly recommend The Hearts Invisible Furies by John Boyne. Enjoyed both books so much!!!

yeo very happy i have more people to share my emotional scarring with as a result of a little life. read this in the first lockdown after my gcses got cancelled and the night i finished i was sobbing in my dinner. despite the lack of clear plot, the emotional rollercoaster it puts you through makes up for it even more. deffo a 5/5 and, 2 years later, still too soon to reread (although I am reading To Paradise rn)

Can I just say- I love Jack's aesthetic and vibes- they are just so calming and always make me happy, Thank you Jack!

Did I just go back and watch all of Jack's video to fill up my to-read pile? Yes, yes I did.

The feeling when you realize that Jack is talking about the exact book that you read at the moment ­­­­­­and truly love it... that's what I call a true moment of joy

This pile of book also looks like a perfect match for an aesthetic decorative books video.

Absolutely love your videos jack ❤️🥳

Ben Barnes did a whole interview of book recommendations and he’s a fellow English Lit major!

I stopped listening to pop music for awhile this past decade but when Dua Lipa came out with “Future Nostalgia”, it converted me back. She’s a breath of fresh air for pop music right now 💕 That album really gets you feeling happy instantly.

I’m so scared to read a little life! I would definitely document the journey of it on my KZread but good on you for tackling it! 👏🏻🙌🏻

Jack, you should add or change your goodreads info for the storygraph one. I loved your shift and would love to see how you keep using it!

With me it’s both I love complicated and detailed characters and a very complicated and detailed plot, I don’t prefer anything over the other

Trick Mirror *definitely* peaked on the first essay. I've finished the third essay and that took so much effort to finish because I could not be arsed, I was so bored. Personally, the writing was difficult to understand at times and it made me question if I was dumb or not lol

Yes I felt like the writing could be at times unnecessarily complicated

I love your celebrity book recommendation videos! They’re my favourite thing to watch! :) I highly recommend reading 11.22.63 by Stephen King next!! It’s 800 pages give or take, but honestly, I devoured it in a whole week! (I used to have big book fear as well, until I started reading it!!) It’s an emotional rollercoaster, and I sobbed for a good 20 minutes after finishing it, but it’s probably my favourite book of all time… and the ending is absolutely exquisite. It will wreck you, but it’s worth it!

This is the best week ever ! Jack is doing Lorde videos. Jack ( Books ) and Lorde ( music ) are my 2 favourite things ever.I am soo exited.

When he said: "Like do you ever just want to reach into a book and slap someone?". I felt that. Also your deactivated Twitter Account is still in the video description. O.o

Jack! I just ordered your book because despite all the traumas of higher education I’ve decided to go back and apply for a master’s degree. So I figured your book would be a good way to prep the mind
