Bits & Pieces
Hosmer Dawn
Thinking about my friend Dawn Hosmer and how deeply BITS & PIECES affected me. I don’t say this abt many writers but her prose is beautiful at every level, sentence to story arc. I attended a reading in Columbus a couple years ago and got to meet her 💕 #DawnHosmer #CancerSucks

Book of Ages: The Life and Opinions of Jane Franklin
Jill Lepore
@adamdavidson Someone has never worked as a professional historian. My favorite example (of many great ones) that disproves your point is Jill Lepore’s BOOK OF AGES. 250 pages of endnotes. Absolutely stunning prose. Sit down.

Sitting Pretty: The View from My Ordinary Resilient Disabled Body
Rebekah Taussig
@CFMJusticeJoy @dharmascholar @SFdirewolf @thellpsx SITTING PRETTY by Dr. Rebekah Taussig. Opened my abled eyes to just how unjust our thinking & infrastructure is. She argues that anyone who lives long enough will eventually be disabled. If ppl can’t be bothered to care abt others can’t they at least think of their own futures?

Loving Frank
