I really liked this, but I'm not so sure I understood the lesson of the story (if it had a lesson) but I was able to make connections along the way. And I've read all of it too, somehow. It didn't feel like yapping, it was a story. It was short, but I enjoyed it. I don't know if it's because it's in substack, but reading it didn't feel like a chore. I like this, great stuff!!
Did you write this? I did not expect to find a full-grown short story in my inbox. The writing was sublime and the topic made me think. Maybe it really would be a great thing to have a condensed, easier companion piece to the classic works of literature as a way to make them less daunting of a proposition to an audience that grew up with bite-sized parcels of information and entertainment. It's a fact that reading books in on the retreat and that we're on the verge of an era, where books are again the domain of a select few.
