My long thread of books I've read got broken. Possibly through inactivity. Anyway, I read Trust by Herman Diaz. Or possibly reread. All a little familiar. Fours books within a book. What's it about? Not sure. Made me think about unreliable narrators and ownership of the truth. @bookstodon #bookstodon #KeefsReads

Immersed in The Letters of Seamus Heaney edited by Christopher Reid, there's a reference to a piece he wrote in the London Review of Books in 1981 about Nadezhda and Osip Mandelstam. Heaney had an affinity for the work of the great Russian poet and he writes movingly and perceptively about Osip and his wife Nadezhda. She wrote two of the best prose books ever to come out of the turmoils of 20th century Russia, Hope Against Hope and Hope Abandoned. (Nadezhda is 'hope' in Russian.)

Community iconc/bookstodonby

I think this could be a very insightful read. "Canaries in the Code Mine: Precarity and the Future of Tech Work" by Max Papadantonakis explores the hidden vulnerabilities of software developers, revealing that even highly skilled tech workers face job insecurity, burnout, and systemic inequalities despite the industry’s reputation for privilege and opportunity. Through interviews with 120 professionals from leading tech firms, the book exposes how temporary contracts, project cancellations, and company downsizing undermine stability, while also highlighting how age, race, and gender shape career prospects. Papadantonakis argues that the tech industry’s rapid innovation often comes at the cost of worker well-being and security, making its labor force the “canaries in the coal mine” for broader trends in the future of work.

This.Freaking.Book! I am speechless! Part horror, part historical fiction- it weaves Gullah Geechee culture and language along with Black folktales into a story of vengeance. Told in a southern Black dialect, it tells the story of Maryse and her friends hunting Ku Kluxers who are different from just Klan members, but are actual monsters. Not a long book and not easy to read, it will definitely stay with me for a long time. Major trigger warnings for racism, hate crimes, gore. @bookstodon#books
