Lost painting stories activate my imagination, probably because of #TheGoldfinch. It's hard to reconcile the racist dehumanization of colonial ethnographic zoos with the dignity and humanity apparent in Klimt's portrait. They managed to locate Prince William Nie Norte Dowuona's descendants in Ghana who still have items brought back from his trip to Vienna.

Ok, I fibbed. One last go-to comfort re-read: the #Discworld series, also by Terry Pratchett (Is listing an entire series cheating? I can't possibly pick one. Sorry not sorry.)
Let's be friends on #Storygraph
I read mostly science fiction & fantasy, with some religious texts and realism thrown in.
Favorite authors include Octavia Butler, Neil Gaiman, Marilynne Robinson, & Toni Morrison.
I'm currently reading #Bloodchild & #TheGoldfinch and I'm waiting for my Libby audio loan to come in to continue with my #WheelofTime read through.
