If anyone is looking for a #spiritual #BookClub there’s a group forming over on #reditt to read #JulianofNorwich [Warning: I’m planning on reading so you’ll be seeing some of my thoughts & reflections posted here]

Julian of Norwich was an English anchoress in the Middle Ages. Her Revelations of Divine Love, based on 16 divine visions she received in 1373, is thought to be the first book written by a #woman in English that has survived (and is still actively being read and studied today). She is venerated as a saint in the #EpiscopalChurch & the larger #AnglicanCommunion (although she is not recognized as a saint by the #RomanCatholicChurch )

The translation I plan to read is: Love’s Trinity: A Companion to Julian of Norwich translated by John-Julian with commentary by Frederick S. Roden https://bookshop.org/a/13969/9780814653081

I'm starting a book club with a group of male friends to read more women authors this year. I'm sure a lot of other men can look at their bookshelves and realise it's almost entirely male writers. One book per month, keeping it casual.

We're starting with Orbital by Samantha Harvey, winner of the 2024 booker prize, and I invite others to read along with us. #books #womenauthors

Books about energy and climate? Female authors? Climate solutions and hope?

What is not to like?

This quote reminds me of George Orwell's essay 'Shooting an Elephant', which is 20 years older. I wonder if Marguerite Yourcenar had ever read it. Then again, Orwell may have got the mask metaphor from someone else even earlier.
