This was so delightful to read! Love both of your Substacks and it’s always so fun to get really, really detailed information about how someone reads, takes notes, and edits their work.
Also loved this articulation of what close reading means: “For me it’s about being present with a text…reading closely is a practice that can only really be perfected over long periods of time, perhaps even entire lifetimes.”
“Lately, I’ve been carrying around a stack of books featuring Baudrillard and Foucault because I’m trying to sort through some thoughts on simulations and poststructuralism”
ME TOO!
Thoroughly enjoyed reading this. What an inspiring woman she is. Thank you!
Love this interview series. Great opportunity to learn about other readers and writers.
