Seeing you'd replied gave me the opportunity to click on your piece and read it again. And be transformed by it again. I so love the idea of using narrative/memory to hold time still in such small, but achingly whole, units. Also: If you have a mailing list or other media method keeping your readership in the loop on your publications, please add me. katelong01@att.net
Your Atlantic essay is kindred reading for bibliophiles across the universe! :-) I just finished Ruth Ozeki's recent meta-book, and at my house, it's going to live next to Borges.
Achingly beautiful.
This is beautifully written, very poetic.
Holy mother of pearl, this was exquisite. Each breath, a death and a rebirth.
My god, what a lovely compliment. I’ll cherish it always.

Again, you have made my day. I don't have a mailing list, but I do have a web site. You can find all my articles at www.lesliekendalldye.net. When I have a new piece I share it on Facebook and Twitter! My most recent essay is up at The Atlantic this month: https://www.theatlantic.com/books/archive/2022/06/personal-library-book-organization-system/661326/

This is one of the most resplendently gorgeous pieces of writing I have read in a long time.
I’m grateful for the encouraging words. Writers spend so much time in dark corners!
