Description

Finch, Charles\n\nBinding:Paperback\n\nPub Date:February 28, 2023\nIn March 2020, at the request of theLos Angeles Times,Charles Finch became a reluctant diarist: As California sheltered in place, he began to write daily notes about the odd ambient changes in his own life and in the lives around him. The result isWhat Just Happened.In a warm, candid, welcoming voice, and in the tradition of Woolf and Orwell, Finch brings us into his own world: taking long evening walks near his home in L.A., listening to music, and keeping virtual connections with friends across the country as they each experience the crisis. And drawing on his remarkable acuity as a cultural critic, he chronicles one endless year with delightful commentary on current events, and the things that distract him from current events: Murakamis novels, reality television, the Beatles.What Just Happenedis a work of empathy and insight, at once of-the-moment and timelessa gift from one of our culture’s most original thinkers.
