she’s a bit controversial, some of her writing can get bleak or polarizing and doesn’t mesh completely with contemporary writing on gender/sexuality/feminism but I’ve been listening to audiobooks of her work one of the few social critics that has tried to analyze Joan of Arc as well as Nicole Brown Simpson - admirable

Impossible to pithily summarize the force of this artist (in which any isolated "scream" is merely another register of space across a VERY complex vocalic spectrum), but I like this one-liner from RYM: "The world isn't a pretty place and sometimes people don't want to hear the truth." Also, if you live in NYC and have *read* about the 80s/90s AIDS crisis but aren't sure you can *feel* it, listen to her work.

Toni morrison- more more more

her voice surprisingly baby-ish for such a woman of power but have you read Source of Self-Regard? find her lectures- she will breath life into you from beyond. In my 🙏❤️❣️

Joan

Didion and Baez. Admittedly, I’ve unhealthily attached myself to them because of the things we have in common (Didion living in LA and Sacramento, Baez being Mexican and going to BU) which has made me even more obsessed than I would have been otherwise. But they’re so good !!! I feel like everyone’s first introduction to Didion is her memoir The Year of Magical Thinking (me included), but after that move on to her collection of essays Slouching towards Bethlehem. There’s an essay about Joan Baez in there (🤠) and if you grew up in California the book will make you feel extra cool. & listen to the album Baez sings Dylan, where she covers all Bob Dylan songs, obviously. Bob’s an amazing lyricist but an awful singer lol. Joan does it undeniably better. But my very favorite song of hers is “silver dagger.” So beautiful and eerie and she was only 19 when she sang it.
