But if one can reduce and stop it, that is first class. So, this basic principle of increasing attachment is not our business, although it is the general tendency. Otherwise, simply further attachment-You will have to take rebirth, either as a human being or as a demigod or as an animal, as a serpent, as a bird, as a beast. So if you want to get liberation from this material world, then that attachment should be reduced to nil. See, I’ll be getting married at the end of this summer.

It's also a great read that will transport you out of your current circumstances, whatever they are. It's an even better book, more expansive yet also deeper, a multi-generational family saga that tackles prickly issues of racial identity and bigotry and conveys the corrosive effects of secrets and dissembling. Four years later, her second, The Vanishing Half, more than lives up to her early promise. How?īrit Bennett's first novel, The Mothers, was the sort of smashingly successful debut that can make but also possibly break a young writer by raising expectations and pressure.

Close overlay Buy Featured Book Title The Vanishing Half Author Brit Bennett She’s literally displaced in time from the 1970s, and August is going to have to use everything she tried to leave in her own past to help her. August’s subway crush becomes the best part of her day, but pretty soon, she discovers there’s one big problem: Jane doesn’t just look like an old school punk rocker. Jane with her rough edges and swoopy hair and soft smile, showing up in a leather jacket to save August’s day when she needed it most. Dazzling, charming, mysterious, impossible Jane. And there’s certainly no chance of her subway commute being anything more than a daily trudge through boredom and electrical failures.īut then, there’s this gorgeous girl on the train. She can’t imagine how waiting tables at a 24-hour pancake diner and moving in with too many weird roommates could possibly change that. For cynical twenty-three-year-old August, moving to New York City is supposed to prove her right: that things like magic and cinematic love stories don’t exist, and the only smart way to go through life is alone. |
