Thank you for this post. Everything about it reminds me that there is so much more to know about a place. I have ordered An Attempt at Exhausting A Place in Paris from the Library and Helge Torvund’s Seriously Well from The Song Cave all because of your thoughtful writing. I am ready to take a walk through my neighborhood with a different point of view.
“I’m not sure what to do with this kind of loss—someone I didn’t know but whom I read for many years—but her work mattered to me” That last phrase captures so much. I’m sorry for your loss Éireann.

That's really lovely, Lauren. I'm glad to hear you have sought out those books! Timothy Otte's review of the Torvund also put it on my to-order list.
