The first one of hers I read was All My Puny Sorrows, which blew my mind, and I was reminded of it by what KH said here about the Catherine Newman book. Miriam Toews writes a lot about depression/suicide (which obviously might make her books totally off limits) and AMPS is emotionally harrowing but also so funny and beautiful and readable, you wonder how she’s pulling it off. Her new one, Fight Talk, sounds great too.
Thanks Hannah! I haven’t read any MT. Where should I start? And then I’ll do her next!

Thanks Hannah, ordering All My Puny Sorrows now
Loved this! Love her. Especially what she says about humour. Please can you do Miriam Toews next? X (also, ‘sneeze guard’, LOL)
