Little Labors by Rivka Galchen
4.0

A very quick read... part memoir, but written like snippets of thought -- similar in structure to Jenny Offill's Dept of Speculation (which is name dropped), though much more ingrained in reality and essay and research than the fictional Dept.. It's about a woman who is a writer and has a child. It's clever and endlessly relatable to the likes of me who recently had a child (getting a baby a passport...I could relate to her stress!) but I could see others enjoying her insight. I want to seek out more by this author; this is the first I've read of her.
