"My impulse to make things good, and to make good things better, is almost ungovernable. I suppose it’s lucky I found a wholesome outlet for it."

This thing rocks. Larissa Macfarquhar, the interviewer, made the brilliant and obvious-in-retrospect move of interviewing the legendary editor’s authors, and compiling (editing together) a kind of oral history of working with Gottlieb.

“In this neighborhood, crowded with mentally unwell people, & with drug dealers & panhandlers, & with tired office workers & sex workers & fruit venders & psychics & police officers—all these people, nearly to a one, say something tender to a child...” https://t.co/DfLleLayz3

Please enjoy these ducks changing their minds.

@MelissAnnWright @chandani35 @amanda_jungels Totally agree! I think we had a similar scheduling pile-up last year as well. Here's hoping we're luckier at #POD21.

“When I use relevance as a filter for determining what books to read, I’m failing to make myself available for an authentic encounter with otherness.... I am, to a great extent, a mystery to myself. How could I know what I need?” https://t.co/eMgXLaHasb
