This Month
Pato Cassinoni
Dublin via Argentina
What book do you recommend to friends?
The books I recommend to friends: lately, I discovered this writer called Michel Houellebecq, who is a French contemporary writer and he really blows my mind.
What book are you currently reading?
A book that I am reading currently is called Unaccustomed Earth and it’s by a writer called Jhumpa Lahiri. It’s a compilation of short stories, and it’s about Bengali people who emigrate to America, and everything that happens when you want to embrace a new culture.
What is your favourite book?
I think my favourite book right now is Sapiens by a writer called Yuval Noah Harari, and it’s a brief history of human species and the way we are.
