Weather
Jenny Offill
this really started to come together for me with Jenny Offill’s “Weather” - which is a “fragmentary” narrative about climate change and personal paralysis https://t.co/WUUWqYYv0p

How to Read Now: Essays
Elaine Castillo
classics and humanities in general often market themselves with the argument that “reading is empathy”; Elaine Castillo’s critique of this line of thinking in “How to Read Now” (just came out) is really spot on I think https://t.co/2pLlSS76Ev
