intimacy, Katie Kitamura

intimacy On Audible last year. I was drawn to the premise of the protagonist’s career as an interpreter in The Hague, and the negotiation she had to negotiate on behalf of another person in such a high-stakes environment, but only linguistically.

The issues of agency and balance in the context of political drama in the book are fascinating, especially with such a vivid portrayal of gendered performances. This book about the complex intimacy of a person’s public and private life — and the veracity of those decisions — gave me a lot to think about. ”

“Unlike some professional athletes, I am trying to expand my vocabulary and study every day. Currently, I am re-reading the Bible because it is the best book ever written. It is not easy to read, but basically covers all the topics. I Also enjoyed reading Winston Churchill’s series because he was a man who faced tragedy every day and managed to inspire people.”
