Finished reading: In Praise of Shadows by Junichiro Tanizaki 📚
I was all set to say this is a combination of “get off my lawn” complaining meets uncomfy musings on skin color and poetic passages about shadow and darkness (which it all still is). But then it ended with a self-aware (meta?) commentary on the conflicting trends that are aging and progress and how grumbling arises from this. 😵💫
