Late 2021, the ministry I used to serve in as an administrative assistant sent a memo saying that they were removing COVID-distancing restrictions. All those who weren’t immunity-compromised should come back to the office to work in person. Before COVID shut down our office, our building was filled to capacity as we were going through […]
We are now in the year of 2024, for better or worse, which means there are entire adults with college degrees who have existed only and solely in the twenty-first century. And while there is nothing wrong with that (although, sorry, kids, I wish we had made a better century for you), it does mean […]
I was a precocious child. Nothing escaped my attention, which is why when one sunny afternoon, during a family walk, my mom’s sudden exclamation put me in high alarm. Although I was only six years old, I believed myself to be her protector. I tried to catch her urgent whispering to my father. He first […]
Saturday 22nd June 2024 I creep into the guest room where William’s friends are fast asleep and try to pull out cardboard boxes full of At Childhood’s End and Origin Stories from under the bed. I’m proud to have contributed to both these books in a big way, and I’m thrilled to be asked to […]

And in this golden age…tech companies expend vast amounts of energy to create search engine assistants trained on partially or fully stolen data, who tell us it’s okay to […]
It was in the year 2000, roughly two hundred years past its initial publication, that I became aware of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. The moment is crystallized in my memory: sitting in my roommate Kate’s dorm room while she fiddled with the VHS player—she had a VHS player!—to begin my indoctrination to the […]

Content note: references to ableism and racism For people born in the South, whether they remain in the region their entire lives or not, there can be an inexplicable hold the land has on you. Almost like soft fingers grasping an ankle—until that hand tightens to prevent escape. That’s what Southern gothic literature is like. […]
I have always felt that one of the nicest things a friend can do is give me book recommendations and reflect with me on how those recommendations went afterwards. Happily, there’s no reason a friend has to be real to do it. Some books refer to one other book, or two—but books about bibliophiles are […]
