1/4 I am in Ukraine right now to see my uncle who’s been ill. I have stories to share in due time. But for now, a plea for help: if you have the means, might you consider donating to refugee center in Odesa?

I'm reading this one now and finding it impossible to put down. I both want to finish it tonight and dread running out of pages. A reader's quandary.

I was able to read an advance of this novel, and it is outstanding—a novel of ideas with a propulsive plot: I wanted to read quickly because I couldn't put it down, but I also kept wanting to slow down and underline so many pieces.

Hearing Jericho Brown read his work this morning was emotional, thought-provoking, and fun—in short, the very best way to spend a morning. He reads again tonight @ the Meinders School of Business, Oklahoma City University!

So thankful for this conversation with Idra Novey and this book, Take What You Need. It's a great read that raises big questions we need to grapple with in this deeply divided country.
