Book Reviews

  • This reminds me both of Sandor Weores's essay on how writers are and Margaret Atwood's Negotiating with the Dead where she tries to figure out what is one way in which all writers are the same and concludes: lonely childhood, time spent alone, thinking, books (cf world building) https://t.co/Wp2xvNsaf6Link to Tweet
