@emilykmay Both Columbine stories (Cassie and Rachel); Dave Cullen’s Columbine book, while not specifically about them, handles their actual stories & the false ones that followed, with genuine grace and compassion. And accuracy. https://t.co/QC2YJRtwqz

I had the unreal privilege of being one @ElissaBassist's readers/editors/hype men for her debut, HYSTERICAL (out today!!!!). I can't explain how good this book is. But I can show you some eXcLuSiVe screenshots of my (very real) editing notes to her, and I think that'll help. https://t.co/OVgxtX6uVW

@a_pirmohamed “My Bright Abyss” by Christian Wiman (first an essay, then a book; both fulfill the prompt). The essay is stunning: https://t.co/Enqk5ZDnRh
