The Female Persuasion

Meg Wolitzer

Yes! Glenn Close should have won an Oscar for it. @MegWolitzer is a glorious novelist - witty, intelligent, alert to human stories. Her exclusion from @WomensPrize is a mystery, esp for The Female Persuasion. https://twitter.com/wendyburke101/status/1469773560713519112

Bertrand Russell

Many years ago, when I was very young and unhappy, I picked up a copy of the philosopher Bertrand Russell's The Conquest of Happiness. It was life-changing, literally. Lucid, funny and penetratingly wise. Today is the 150th year of his birth. https://t.co/XrbIuMWNeR
