No but I've been meaning to read some of her books. I really love the articles she writes. The one she did on loneliness and the rent-a-family industry in Japan was top tier.

I'm 50 pages in. I'd recommend checking it out if you like her writing.

Yeah it's great. First half is better imo. She's based.

>>12774946
As anon said, her articles are killer. She took a class with Franco Moretti now like 15 years ago and her piece on him/his work became like a defining piece of criticism against distant reading.

I'm not very familiar with her work but from a quick google search I see her titles are copies of dosto. Is there any reason she does this? Is it incorporated into her writing? it just seems like a quite a weird thing to do considering the plot doesn't resemble dostos.
