Texts aren't separable from life. Marion Turner discusses this in her masterful The Wife of Bath @PrincetonUPress. For centuries, women, facing sexism in great texts, have been making this argument. I write about this in my new book How To Think Like A Woman @groveatlantic https://t.co/InYalIiWJ6

Love this top ten biography rule-breakers by @_catherinelacey. Jaeggy's These Possible Lives @NewDirections is one of my faves, too. Each line creepily exquisite, like this: "When she died, Thomas thought she would come back, like a crocus." https://t.co/mHCvaBS9ay
