Thank you, Sara! Of course. (Though you don’t need it.) And if you’d like to write a piece for the MPP, maybe when A Good Animal is about to be available for pre-orders, please write to me and let me know…
Wow, Sarah! I can't think of a better way to enter this new and daunting year -- into the woods indeed! ---- than to read this piece about Sabrina Orah Mark's Happily ---- !! I love the glimpses you give of her memoir; I'm inspired by the wild honesty of the passages you cite. It is this kind of honesty, I think, that will see us through, in our lives and in our writing.
Thank you, Harriet! It’s true that so much of the book is really about investigating the old stories and how they resonate in her life (in our lives). An obsession around here. But I’m also so struck by Mark’s wild, illuminating honesty.
If you ever teach a book review class, I want to know about it ☑️
