One of my favorite books of all time. No matter how often I return to it, I am heartened by the reminder that humans have always been absurd and war has always been part of that absurdity.

The great Portuguese writer AntĂłnio Lobo Antunes GCSE has passed away at the age of 83. Antunes died in Lisbon, the city where he was born, the site of his psychiatric practice, and the setting for many of his 30+ works. Portugal has declared a national day of mourning.

On 2/3, I’ll be in conversation with the extraordinary Ellen Bass about building community. If you run (or hope to start) an online learning or creative community, I hope you’ll join us. We’ll also leave time for questions. mayacpopa.substack.com/p/on-…
