"When I think of what makes summer summer, I find that I am always looking backwards." I feel this SO deeply and have found myself in a similar place lately– resisting this idea that the best summers have already happened and deciding instead to make it (and fill it) with what I want. Which is usually the most simple and accessible things– the reading, the stonefruit, the getting lost.
This is some of your best work! Thank you for sharing that piece on boredom from Brick too! And a friend of mine has been telling me for years to read Edith Wharton and I…. just haven’t yet. So maybe this is the push I needed:)
Thank you Brittany! 🤍 I feel like Summer is the perfect July/August read. Highly recommend. Eager to read The House of Mirth & The Age of Innocence too!
