Tessa Hadley: 'Uneasy books are good in uneasy times'

I'm totally with Tessa on this one 🤩. I've always found that the most thought-provoking books are the ones that make you feel uncomfortable, you know? They're like a wake-up call to confront your own thoughts and feelings head-on. And let's be real, times can get pretty tough out there, right? 😬 So yeah, I think those "uneasy books" can be super cathartic. Like, if I'm having a rough day, a good dose of moral ambiguity or uncomfortable truths can actually help me process my emotions and gain some perspective.

I mean, comfort reads are fun and all, but they don't always cut it when you're feeling really lost. That's where the "uneasy books" come in – they might not be easy to read, but they're definitely worth it in the end. And I love that Tessa says they offer a more profound sense of literary solace than those fluffy comfort reads. So yeah, I'm all for giving "uneasy books" a try when things get tough! 💡
