A lover of libraries of all kinds. Talking about books on WCAI is a joy. Once a librarian, always a librarian.

Inspired by next week’s opening of American Repertory Theater’s new production “Wonder,” The Brattle presents three films that illustrate the complex issues of change, identity, and belonging that all children (and their families) experience. (1/2)

A song I have been listening to for decades … and has just returned into my heart. I still deeply miss Nanci Griffith. What a gift to have seen her live at Passims so many years ago …

Thoreau, Oct. 20, 1855. I find, here and there on the hill, apples, sometimes three or four, carried to the mouth of a striped squirrel's hole, 4 or 5 rods from the tree, with the marks of his teeth in them, by which he carried them, and the chankings or else fragments of the skin of others there.

This weekend's WSJ Fiction Chronicle leads with Lee Clay Johnson's "Bloodline," a story of gonzo small-town demagoguery in the vein of Coover, Gass, Crews and other chroniclers of the North American berserk. It is, to put it mildly, a timely subject. www.wsj.com/arts-culture...
Fiction: Lee Clay Johnson’s ‘Bloodline’
Plus Fredrik deBoer’s “The Mind Reels” and Claire-Louise Bennett’s “Big Kiss, Bye-Bye.”

The bell in First Congregational Church in Falmouth, MA was forged in 1796 by Paul Revere. It has been rung over 30,000,000 times. Today the congregation rang it especially for the No Kings event.
