I *think* I'm going to bring the new-ish Zadie Smith collection, a book about Handel, and How to Winter by Kari Leibowitz. But that might be too much nonfiction! I'd better find a novel too....

Fernando Pessoa, born June 13, 1888, in Lisbon. Had a shitload of heteronyms.

Someone asked me about you the other day, and I told them I used to go to your place and rifle through your sock drawer. What else. Oh! I had dinner last month in NY with someone who works for the Hearsts. She does zooms regularly w Patty!

Just finished Tilt by Emma Pattee. Just started The Coldest City because I love the movie Atomic Blonde.

Coming Up Short by Robert Reich. Good book for the current time.

The Spell of the Sensuous by David Abram. Initially I rolled my eyes at it a little bit (a sleight-of-hand magician hanging out with shamans, uh?), but damn, I'm actually loving the meditative writing on the more-than-human and other ways of knowing/sensing.

O’Connor, Collected works. Finding a new appreciation for her eye on the southern curse of Jim Crow. Fearless, with mythical symbolism and honest reflection, each story has rapt.

God I love her work. "Good Country People" is my longtime favorite, but more recently I discovered — read for the first time — "The Displaced Person" and "Enduring Chill" and "Revelation." Holy moly! All three knocked me sideways, for different reasons
