"I read the book 'cold' as Mona Simpson, the leader for this read, suggested we do."
A lovely essay by @JenniferLSears on our #APSTogether read of Virginia Woolf's TO THE LIGHTHOUSE with Mona Simpson.

The #APStogether reading of “To the Lighthouse” was as engaging as expected. I’m going to try to make the discussion tonight, though I’ll have to log in from the edge of the Ionian Sea! (Hope it’s recorded!) To register: @APublicSpace open.substack.com/pub/apstog…

Take a look at this 1935 photo by Carl Van Vechten from the Berg Collection! On the left is American avant-garde writer Alice B. Toklas alongside her life partner—the art collector, poet, and novelist Gertrude Stein. 🧵

Love that @PublishersWkly gives a ⭐ Starred Review to The Memory of Animals by @ClaireFuller2, calling it "a haunting novel of second chances."

"I was the world in which I walked, and what I saw
Or heard or felt came not but from myself;
And there I found myself more truly and more strange."

Sorta funny, but missing out on all the much funnier places in Epictetus' Discourses where he tells so many pretend-Stoics they're getting it wrong.
I kinda suspect the proportion of Stoic-lites/fake Stoics in modern Stoicism is about the same as it was in Epictetus' time

The loss of Hilary Mantel feels like a theft of a kind. All those books we still needed from her. That lavish imagination, that beady understanding of power. From the final book in the trilogy: “This is what life does for you in the end; it arranges a fight you can't win.”

Zeno jealously compares his balding head to Guido’s luxuriant locks… For that alone, Zeno would have hated Guido.
