Why read it?
1 author picked Days of Distraction as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The narrator of Chang’s debut novel keeps referencing this project she’s working on, and it just might be the book we’re reading.
The novel brilliantly messes around in the gray area between life and art, author and narrator, truth and fiction—as our narrator, adrift in a new town after a cross-country move, writes as a way to make sense of where she’s been and where she’s going.
From Kate's list on making sense of your life by writing about it.
