Last year, I read the book, and wrote an essay about it -- https://feminismandreligion.com/2016/07/12/ignoring-isnt-the-same-as-ignorance-by-darla-graves-palmer/ -- but I'm just not sure I can take myself into that particular thinking space again yet.

Just throwing that out there with nostalgia and not exactly the same genre'.Barbara Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351113054045427775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-45959116291042649542017-05-15T08:17:44.527-04:002017-05-15T08:17:44.527-04:00MFK Fisher is known for her writing on food but it...MFK Fisher is known for her writing on food but it's actually much more than that. Exquisite prose! I haven't read anything of Eggers but know I should.

I was pleased to hear that Margaret Atwood assisted in the series and even has a cameo role. I passed on re-reading "American Gods" only because of its length and because I have read it twice. I'm recording the series so I can binge watch as much as I want. I must confess ignorance of M.F.K. Fisher so thank you for widening my knowledge.<br /><br />A suggestion: If you haven't read "The Circle" by Dave Eggers, please do so. A very frightening futuristic novel that may also ring far more true than we would like to believe.NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-311870060491531622017-05-15T07:45:34.741-04:002017-05-15T07:45:34.741-04:00I don't know any of them but think I should ;-...I don't know any of them but think I should ;-)<br />Thérèsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14354559064351144704noreply@blogger.com
