It seems all things are about money. Even the beautiful outdoors which is polluted for lining the pockets of corporations. It is difficult to move away from algorithms that dominate our reading choices. Substack has been a place for me to become aware of fabulous authors who may not have a voice elsewhere.
I love your dialogue with your book. Speaking in the voice of inanimate objects is a charming perspective that I’ve encouraged in the writers in my memoir class. It frees one’s mind to see the world in a new way.
Hi Marita - sadly yes, it seems everything is about money. As a lifelong reader I’’m so frustrated with the algorithms that offer up the same book, again and again. It’s increasingly difficult to find something I want to read. So much good literature and so many good writers struggle in this landscape.
The book thing is fun! And I stole it. I absolutely endorse what you say about the power of objects in memoir
