Recently, I've needed to turn to fiction. Amid the general turbidity of early 20s life, I've also watched the seemingly endless torrent of bad news. The Caldor Fire raging through the Tahoe area, Hurricane Ida ravaging the Gulf Coast, Ida striking again with deluges of deadly rain in the Northeast. The climate crisis is here, and I take heart in seeing the ways that people have come together to support one another, but sometimes, when I see our leaders still waffling, wavering, and failing to step up, I get discouraged. So, I continue fighting, because that is what we must do. But I also turn to fiction, the book equivalent of a hot bowl of mac and cheese, for sustenance.
