Thank you, for keeping your finger steadily on the pulse of moral leadership Snyder's work (thank you for putting it on the map of this distracted reader) is essential reading. And to pull the Beloved passage into your post.... lovely. Toni said it all. Like you said, at the 92 Y, I can go to sleep tonight in peace. Snyder, and Morrison and Junot Díaz are keeping (positive) freedom alive. 🙏🏽

I read Beloved this year - late to the greatness as usual. I still feel the dark radiance of the story, ghosts alive, the buried always waking. I hope history, looking back on Now, will note how the positive freedoms roared while the negative freedoms whispered, and democracy, yet again, held on by a few votes of the brave. Thanks, Junot, for the encouragement.
