"You don’t know what’s in a book you haven’t read. You also don’t know what’s in a film you haven’t watched, an album you haven’t heard, or an article you haven’t clicked on. That used to matter. It no longer does," @helenlewis writes: theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

These books so vividly capture the satisfactions of the pursuits they describe that you might be tempted to take up gardening or long-distance running or bookbinding and enlarge your sense of your own capabilities, @chelsealeu writes. theatlantic.com/books/archiv…

Outrageous. One of my boys’ favourites when they were young. The good news: censorship backfires. Meyers's backlist book is now a bestseller in two of Amazon's children's book categories. #bookbanning #censorship cbc.ca/news/world/everywhere…

Today is the pub date for my memoir about the Holocaust and intergenerational trauma. A huge community, including people who had never met me, helped me bring this into the world. The topic is a bummer, I know, but there are moments of light and laughter. penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/…
