On this day, 485 years ago, Thomas Cromwell was executed. A compelling yet flawed politician, portrayed with sensitivity in Mantel’s trilogy and in Mark Rylance’s film version. I am captivated by him in so many ways.

Perceptive, eloquent and a fine reader of so much fine literature. Thankful for her sharing her readings with us lessers. Perry’s redolent introduction is a beautiful epitaph.

I know this is 17 years old but this book by @naomiaklein.bsky.social is simply important right now and a clear bellwether re: USA (and maybe globally) economic chaos. Needs to be read!

A book is like a garden that can be carried in a sleeve…a being that speaks on behalf of the dead…a friend who will not go to bed before you yourself have fall asleep—Al Jâdiz, Arab sage 9th Century.

I am spending my weekend with the splendid virtuosity of Ragna Schirmer and her recording of the Handel Klaviersuiten (Berlin Classics - 3CD). High recommendations!
