Summer, there are just so many beautiful sentiments in your "When Celebration is Survival," and you had me crying with you by the final lines. Thank you for sharing what you're doing and what you're going through.
Giovanni's Room is on my list too, Petya! I wanted to get so many of Baldwin's books from that bookshop I mentioned to you before I left home, but it was either books or baby clothes that I could fit in my suitcase for our trip back to Portugal!
Regarding the counter protestors, it's been so disappointing and disheartening to see what the response has been. It had me feeling pretty low last Saturday. Sigh.

Thank you so much for reading and writing to me, Autumn.
I just finished reading Giovanni's Room last night and today feel so sad and mopey and just... grateful for books, and writing, and Baldwin's talent.
Like you, I am so inspired by the student protests and honestly, in disbelief over the counter rhetoric which to me feels so cruel.
I am glad you had a cozy Sunday and that you are doing things that nurture you.

I hope the week is treating you well so far.
