Linda Gartz on X
Author of "Redlined," a memoir of the redlining that segregated our Chicago neighborhood—and America, informed by long-hidden family archives. Audiobook too!
The Tender Bar: A Memoir
J. R. MoehringerLinda GartzA brilliant memoir! Head Butler says: I've seen the movie of "The Tender Bar." It's the best I've seen the year. It doesn't open until late December (Amazon Prime in January). Strong suggestion while you wait: read the book. I dare you to put it down. https://t.co/Ma524KNKuO

Santa Fe For Art's Sake: (the book)
Theater GrottescoLinda GartzExactly the quote I had thought of when I heard of all the book banning going on in certain school districts. They're not burning books yet, but banning is like burning: get rid books that contain ideas one disagrees with. https://t.co/TopG0Q4Q4I

Talk Show: Confrontations, Pointed Commentary, and Off-Screen Secrets
Dick CavettLinda GartzIt's especially powerful to hear him speak up to Dick Cavett (well-known talk show host from late 1960s-70s). In this 1969 interview Baldwin addresses what now seems like incredibly naive questioning from a top interviewer, including addressing police brutality. 54 years ago! https://t.co/mALtVnvRmn
