How do you sum up a relationship with a revered author like #LoreSegal whose work spans seven decades. How do you show the impact of her astute empathy, her consummate craft. @jamesamarcus show us how. Please read this @Indies_Alliance @TheAtlantic @NewYorker @Dauntbooks.
For the Atlantic, I wrote about my friend Lore Segal:.

“The point of writing, I believe, is finding the right words. And being old is being old. Dying is must not be scared to say it”. See @matthewshaer on the great Lore Segal. Deeply alive to meaning @Indies_Alliance

At 96, Lore Segal is approaching death with the same startling powers of perception she brought to her fiction.

🙏 @Tim_Hannigan for a beautiful, thoughtful review of a beautiful, thoughtful 📖 @KathleenJamie @Indies_Alliance @LRBbookshop @Waterstones @ToppingsEdin @ToppingsStAs.
My review of @KathleenJamie's Cairn (@SortofBooks) is in this month's edition of the always-excellent @Resurgence_mag. I seem to get less coherent as a reviewer the better the book - so this is definitely not my best work. But the book is astounding. Please buy it.
