17. Words as Solace: The Joy of Reading

Written over the course of a decade peppered with grief and loss Big Reader: Essays explores themes of memory, loss, womanhood, disappointment, and joy, all underpinned by an abiding love of books. Author Susan Olding hopes the book leaves reader feeling “grateful for the incredible gift that reading is, especially in times like ours, where it has never seemed more important to reach across barriers of time/class/gender/race and pay attention to what others are telling us about their experience.” In conversation with Barbara Bell.
