In 1935, Sinclair Lewis, the first American to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, published It Can’t Happen Here, a cautionary tale of how a fascist could take over in the US.

This novel is becoming increasingly relevant day by day. Have a listen here: youtu.be/QsL6A-gUhP8

Currently reading a classic of degenerate, outsider lit:

Last Exit To Brooklyn by Hubert Selby Jr

#booksky #grovepress #americanlit

I lived in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn when I was younger and am surprised that some of the book takes place in Bay Ridge. But excited to read about it.

I reread Walt Whitman’s “Song of Myself.” It blew my soul away. Where did it go? Perhaps I’ll travel back to my college #AmericanLit class and find it there.

Currently reading 2 books, but I couldn’t wait to dive into Ralph Waldo Emerson’s work. Continuing my #AmericanLit kick and scribbling in my catch-all notebook.

#ErnestHemingway died on this day in 1961. We have his entertaining 1961 #biography! I learned a few years ago that he'd worked for the #TorontoStar in the 1920's. #Canadian #journalist, #GregoryClark, tried to convince him to give up #fiction! $15. #Booksky #authors #AmericanLit #literature

I’m reading Walden for the 3rd time this year. Noticing new things & rereading my favorite passages. You can never read your favorite books too many times.

I read #Walden 3 times this year. Still so relevant to today. Brain rot is nothing new.

While England endeavors to cure the potato-rot, will not any endeavor to cure the brain-rot, which prevails so much more widely and fatally?
