Hanover Tavern has mounted a remarkable musical about Gabriel's slave rebellion. Passionate, committed performances, stirring songs, historically accurate moving narrative, and courage to do this right now. If you can get there, do.

Happy Birthday Jim Steranko!
Sharing that famous full-page seduction from your Nick Fury run.
(Story goes that Comics Code Authority made him redraw so phone would not be off the hook, but to me it works even better with it orgasmically ringing.)

DISMANTLE THE CONDITIONS
Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

Abigail Spanberger will be Virginia’s next governor and the first woman to hold the state’s highest office. Her campaign promised to fight the “chaos” of President Donald Trump’s second term and to address cost-of-living issues. https://bit.ly/3JEKGZp

What if you put the brain of Huck Finn's Jim into the head of Abraham Lincoln? This wild premise, in the hands of the masterful Witcover, unmasks America itself as a Frankenstein's monster, and that is the true horror of this profound literary achievement.

Could not agree more with what Endless Bookshelf wrote.
This novel is a serious work of literary art couched in a fantastical mash-up much like America itself. #booksky #books #readthis #novels #history
Finally available here and in paperback!

Lincolnstein by Paul Witcover is an important book, a concise and nimble treatment of the Matter of America, with resonances from works by Mary Shelley and Samuel Clemens
Great to know it will be available in USA
/ I read it in early 2022
