"In the face of the increasingly materialist and pragmatic orientation of our age...it would not be eccentric in the future to contemplate a society in which those who live for the pleasures of the mind will no longer have the right to demand their place in the sun. The writer, the thinker, the dreamer, the poet, the metaphysician, the observer ... he who tries to solve a riddle or to pass judgement will become an anachronistic figure, destined to disappear from the face of the earth like the ichthyosaur and the mammoth." Surrealist painter Giorgio di Chirico, early 20th cent. #surrealism #amwriting #writersofinstagram @jennitaur #howtodonothingMind expanding summer reads who are bon amis. Costalegre fictionalizes #peggyguggenheim relationship with her daughter in an imagined Mexico fleeing WWII with an entourage of surrealist artists. What if you had to compete with art for your mother's love and attention? And what if you pretty much lost? Reading the Letters,Dreams,and Other Writings of surrealist painter #remediosvaro had me viewing the world through a deliciously off-kilter filter. @cbmaum #amreading #writersofinstagram #surrealism #summerreadingA rare morning to myself - Good and Mad is the most soothing, validating and cathartic book about the power of women's anger and how that relates to both history and the current moment. Questlove's book on creativity is part memoir, part inspiration and all charm, Bitcoin Billionaires reads like an extended Vanity Fair article in the best possible way if you're in the mood for that sort of thing (and I am!) Plus assorted accoutrements of the morning. Coffee not pictured. #amreading #bookstagram #writersofinstagram #rebeccatraister @benmezrich @questlove #solitude #morningroutineI'll be introducing dear friend and fellow @benningtonwritingseminars alum @irinareyn1 on Monday at the Beachwood branch of @cuyahogalib where she'll be discussing her new book #mothercountry A timely exploration of immigration issues all wrapped up in her insightful and wry prose. Come say hi and get your book signed. #amreading #fridayreads #authorsreading #beachwoodlibraryEveryone on my Christmas list, every hostess gift for dinner parties- everyone got this book from me last year. The message and the art of it left me bowing in appreciation. And today it won the Pulitzer. If you haven't read it, I'm envious of the journey you'll take. And shout out to my friends at @appletreebooks who recommended it to me right when it came out. Read it and go plant a tree after. #amreading #pulitzer #theoverstoryWhen a lovely friend is the editor for your literary hero's poetry collection and sends you a fancy ARC and you get to read fifty never before published poems before everyone else can in July when the book comes out and you feel all special and literary. @icgp2789 @themountlenox @scribnerbooks #amreading #fridayreads #edithwharton #gorgeousbookTweets
