Conundrum
Jan MorrisLaura AmalasuntaLili's story meant a lot to me when I was approaching transition. I found it a lot easier to relate to than Jan Morris' Conundrum, another groundbreaking transition memoir, and for that matter many trans autobiographies published since. And not *just* because it has a train. https://t.co/V5UFmRR0Yr

Leopoldstadt
Tom StoppardLaura AmalasuntaTom Stoppard's 'Leopoldstadt', Theater in der Josefstadt. Excellently done, powerful to see this in German and in Vienna. The story of a C20th Viennese Jewish family, and the inability of assimilation to bring security, feels particularly relevant in a time of resurgent hatred. https://t.co/35i2ACjiDB
