TYRANT reminded me of the necessity and immediacy of great literature in the world, particularly at this moment in time. Greenblatt‘s work in this book deserves to survive the Trump regime—I think it could serve as a useful text to gain insight into the messages literature gives us from those writers writing from a place of limited speech. Well-written and engaging.

Trible‘s analysis of four stories from the Hebrew Bible/Christian Old Testament through the lens of Second-Wave Feminism is incredible. She highlights the misogyny & theological questions raised by viewing these stories through the POVs of the marginalized female characters at their centers. Her writing is clear and engaging, and the text is understandable, even for someone who, like myself, is not a Bible/Hebrew scholar. 5/5 Stars.

Miller is a talented essayist, and he uses his incredible writing skills to examine his life as a gay man in the 1970s. A powerful book, a necessary book. 5/5 stars

“Glory Happening” is a book that found me when I needed it. I read the first few sections of the book last night, then forced myself to go to bed. I finished the book first thing this morning. It is one of the best books I‘ve read. Full stop.
