He wrote If I Must Die to Al-Shymaa. He was addressing her. She's the one that was told to tell his story, to sell his things, and to not lose hope.

“I’m an American doctor who went to Gaza. I have worked in other war zones. But what I witnessed during the next 10 days in Gaza was not war—it was annihilation.” latimes.com/opinion/story/…

2/ This piece from @parul_sehgal in 2021 was fantastic -- and reminds us how trauma is so dominant in plotlines now that people may have forgotten that it's a device and part of an ideological framework, not just "the way you tell a story." newyorker.com/magazine/2022/…
An exquisite portrait by @DavidAvromBell of his mother, Pearl Kazin Bell, in the two decades of her adulthood, before David was born. It's hard to imagine our parents before we came on the scene, but David does it with such lovely quiet vision. nybooks.com/online/2024/02…
I enjoyed seeing the care with which @parul_sehgal panned a sophomore novel whilst calling attention to similar works that do it better. Reminds me of her LUSTER review: she takes the work and the characters so seriously AND can also see the unfulfilled possibilities! So lucid.
Blessed are those books that invent or demand their own criteria! Reviewed Tommy Orange's new novel, Wandering Stars, which takes on the history and horrors of the residential school system newyorker.com/magazine/2024/…
