Now Haymarket has made ten of its books--an antifascist library--free this week. Proud to be one of them. haymarketbooks.org/blogs/517-ten-…

Good morning. It would be a good day for a permanent ceasefire, and to stop arming Israel @JoeBiden @KamalaHarris
Sobbing, yes, yes it was.
Jean Strouse on Mary James's influence on Henry James: "in fact, the complicated folds of her 'own tenderest embrace' may have had a great deal to do with her favorite son's lifelong disinclination." Written in 1980, I keep telling myself: Strouse didn't know better. #NYRBWomen24
"Interesting perceptions are preferable to marketable achievements only when there is enough money to go around." 💯 But "Alexander Robertson brought a strong Scottish strain into a lineage that was otherwise Irish." is racist. #NYRBWomen2024
I have read only Age of Innocence by Wharton. As I read Ghosts, I kept thinking, this feels really gay, as in subversive, coded, sexy, interesting, esp true in A Bottle of Perrier. Poor Gosling, who became what he derided, and yet was still terrible. Oh, the racism! #NYRBWomen24
In Wharton's Ghosts, I really enjoyed The Pomegranate Seed--ref to Persephone, right? I liked the alliance of new wife and MIL and that murky line between real and not. #NYRBWomen24
I love you, Philly.
Ghosts by Edith Wharton with #NYRBWomen24. The Live by Jonathan Lethem after watching the movie w @geofisch and Super Sad Black Girl by Diamond Sharp. #FridayReads
That the ghost turns out to be a metaphorical spectre--the hungry spinster! Again, the blend of real and supernatural in Wharton's Miss Mary Park is what gets me. And the late night treacherous carriage ride reminded me of Teffi! #NYRBWomen24
Help me understand what happens in Wharton's "The Triumph of Night" Faxon sees a ghost, but it's the uncle's more evil side, the one that cares for $, not Frank? And then Faxon flees, which sacrifices Frank? #NYRBWomen24
I'll tell you what goes on here. 🧵
Who's reading Edith Wharton's Ghosts #NYRBWomen24 ? It's a perfect spooky read for late October. In "Kerfol" we have an innocent narrator, which reminds me that Wuthering Heights is a ghost story. And ghost dogs! The Breton setting reminds me of the passage in Byatt's Possession
Wharton's "The Lady's Maid's Bell" (awk double possessive) feels a little haunted by Turn of the Screw and Jane Eyre. The ghost servant is a hero, not a temptress, the master is an overt harasser, and Hartley is our tiny, sickly narrator/heroine. #NYRBWomen24
