I can never resist making book recommendations and so here are two. An academic book that also introduces memoir and experiments with form (and is moving and wrenching and inspiring at once): Christina Sharpe's In the Wake. And a historical novel that I'm only a third of the way through but is really great thus far: Maggie O'Farrell's Hamnet and Judith.
Thank you, Barbara! I just looked up In the Wake, which looks wonderful. I'm really interested by what seems like an extended metaphor of a ship's wake, in that book? I also am glad to hear about Hamnet, which I've been wanting to read. I think I'll get that one next.

Hurrah for Tiya!
Truly! It's magnificent. Hope you're doing great, Kevin! :)
