I meet virtually with my small reading group next Saturday. We met when we were all living in the same city abroad, but we have since dispersed (they are now in the US). It'll be something like 10 years.

However, it was my turn to choose a book, and because a couple of the other members were interested in my mention of Invisible Women, I chose that book.

Friends, this was before the election. I would have chosen something else had I known it was going to go the way it did. We have all had trouble finishing it with the impending-ness in the air.

And I also realized, rereading, that much of what the author says has become more common knowledge (at least to those who are paying attention) and the information, at least for me, no longer feels as revelatory as it did upon my first reading.

Furthermore, I am afraid of what topics we will have to talk about that become relevant between now and then. I am afraid of what will be revealed, what new harms will be unleashed.
