  • What does a bookseller do when they get their wisdom taken out? Write a cheeky insta post about it! This week’s #tbt is THE STORY OF MY TEETH by Valeria Luiselli, who will be the Durham Arts Council tomorrow night. Travis—with Mason as the model, sorry if that’s a mouthful—says of the book: “It’s hard to find a writer to compare to Valeria Luiselli. She seems to have read all of the literature of Europe and the Americas, but her prose maintains the intimacy of a talk between friends. The narrator of The Story of My Teeth, Gustavo ‘Highway’ Sanchez Sanchez, is the perfect vessel for her considerable talent. Eloquent and charming, he’s a legendary auctioneer who’s come to see himself as not just ‘a lowly seller of objects, but, first and foremost, a lover and collector of good stories.’ There are plenty of good stories here—my favorites were the hyperbolic tales that Highway uses to auction off a set of teeth. But it’s Luiselli’s style, at once erudite and accessible, that I really love this novel for.” . . . #valerialuiselli #thestoryofmyteeth #wisdomteeth #bookstagram #ncbookstores
