David M. Shapard does an excellent job of contextualizing Austen’s world in his annotated versions of her works. And his notes are on the page facing the text, so you don’t even have to flip back to end notes!
Oh, I loved Abandoners! It's feeding into my research atm. I also enjoyed A Life Of One's Own, I'm a big fan of memoir blended with nonfiction literary exploration. I like the sound of Abigail and Territory of Light.
I already have a copy of The Wall at home but your description of it moved it straight to the top of my immediate TBR. Also, I purchased Abigail after we talked about it on Instagram and now I am feeling a very Juliana-esque month of reading coming up!

Kate, you should definitely read the new Catherine Lacey book!!!
I think my new goal in life is to make everyone as literarily obsessive about Szabó as I am now!

Honestly, knowing that I piqued your interest in not only one but TWO books is some of the highest form of compliment I could get!
Ok, I am adding Territory of Light to my list!
I know you like a good complicated Japanese woman so it might be right up your alley!
the wall is my favorite book of all time!!! i love introspective dystopian fiction and women in isolation
"Introspective dystopian fiction" is a descriptor I'll be adding to my list!
Have you read I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman?
