“To fight in a war,” [Huckleberry Finn] said. “Can you imagine?”
“Would that mean facing death every day and doing what other people tell you to do?” I asked.
“I reckon.”
“Yes, Huck, I can imagine.”

Funny, horrifying, razor sharp, and winner of the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction

The Kesh culture is explored through short stories, anthropology records, myths, plays, novel excerpts, song lyrics, and poetry. This non-narrative style may turn off some readers, but Always Coming Home by Ursula K. Le Guin is a master class in worldbuilding!

Highlighting a nonfiction book I read recently. Psychedelic rites of passage are a part of our history. I believe the world is a poorer place due to the loss of these rites--there would be no Donald Trump in a world where dissolution of the ego was a natural part of our life experience.
