Mary: Your choices this week are wonderful lures. The story kiosk concept is mind boggling and marvelous. It gives us “oldies “ hope for our children’s future. The review of Sense of an Ending is marvelous and so honest. It made me think back upon what I have said or claimed about my past. Ah, the art of omission- for starters.
Sense of an Ending is one of my gospels. I read it at least twice a year. I've tried to mimic its structure in a few unfinished novels (and short stories) and have failed each time.
Thank you so, Sherman. Levels of Life is an original write that amazes if you haven't read that one. Also please check your spam for an email from me <mltabor@me.com>. My colleagues and I have an idea for you on innerlifecollaborative.substack.com for your consideration. ~Mary
Mary, I thought about this “Inner Life” post from an “outer life” perspective. Maybe it’s human nature to believe one’s version of history is the “truth.” But this mistake can, and too often does, inflame everyday situations. If we all understood and accepted the true nature of “memory,” maybe political discussions and Thanksgiving dinners would be more civilized. Big argument for literature, reading and more great posts like this on Inner Life!
Actually, Del, this post appeared on Laura Moreno's site as a guest for her. I totally agree with you and hope that you will subscribe to innerlifecollaborative.substack.com where I wrote this week about Covid and Camus. You must have gotten this post as a cross-post from marytabor.substack.com where I write "Only connect ..." And here Laura and I are connecting. She will shortly be a guest poster for me! xo

Edward, what a generous and eloquent comment. Thank you so much!

Oh, how lovely. Thank you, Nathan!
