Beautiful description of this great novel! I do love a book that you can lose yourself in. I also suffer from ADD and have a hard time staying engaged. For me, my favorite thing about books is that they transport you to another time and another place as well as strengthen your imagination. Your writing stands in strong contrast with Timothy Snyder's "The Strongman Fantasy" Substack today. All you discuss would be lost if the "Strongman" gets back into power. But the "Strongman" can not take away our imaginations! https://open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p/the-strongman-fantasy?r=d8w6&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Thanks, Gail.

One of the worst things about MAGA is the creative, emotional, and intellectual energy spent combating it. He's such a parasite, sucking all the energy away.

Yes, a vortex of chaos. The prescient song by David Bowie comes to mind: “The Man Who Sold the World”.
