Favorites and superlatives aren’t really my style, I’ve never been able to say “____ is my favorite film,” “______ is my favorite band”–mainly because there’s a range of styles and approaches to all things that I think have their own inherent quality (e.g. I try to appreciate the genius of Bill Monroe as much as I do the genius of Q-Tip).

But there are some pieces of work that I consistently rank among my Top 10 for different media, one of them being Shelley’s novel Frankenstein.

A new book, Laurie Sheck’s “A Monster’s Notes,” breathes new life into this classic. After reading the write-up in today’s Washington Post, I can’t wait to get my hands on it.
