In the Margins: On the Pleasures of Reading and Writing

All the Frequent Troubles of Our Days: The True Story of the American Woman at the Heart of the German Resistance to Hitler
Rebecca DonnerAnais NinjaJust finished Rebecca Donner’s incredible “All the Frequent Troubles of Our Days.” I read it looking for inspiration from brave, principled souls, but am mostly just furious at the successive waves of cowards who got them not only murdered but erased.

Persuasion: (Original Edition)
J. AustenAnais NinjaThe other Persuasion (Sarah Snook) coming out is directed by a black woman! Which I think makes it the second mainstream Austen adaptation that isn't directed by a white director? https://t.co/Ro4BecTJhW

Kindred
Octavia ButlerAnais NinjaDid she really intend for Kindred to be a miniseries on a streaming network where few people will watch it except those already inclined? Octavia Butler predicted a lot of stuff correctly, but this tweet seems like a stretch, dear community manager https://t.co/3aGyC31eNU
