I will be at Capclave this weekend, the DC-area con, “where reading is not extinct.” I’m on panels Fri 9pm, Sat 11am, Sat 7pm, about magazines etc, and a group reading Sat 10pm of Bill Powell‘s BCS story that’s a libretto stage-play that we podcasted for episode BCS 150. If you see me in the halls or the bar, feel free to say hello!

A brilliant essay by Ursula K. LeGuin on the new Harper Lee novel, with profound character nuance regarding society and race, and the real-life complexity of living among people and family, in the South, whose views you despise (been there).
“it’s all so much more complicated than it looks like from outside, to people who don’t have to consider how love and loyalty constrain you”
