Books That Make a Difference: Virginia Woolf’s ORLANDO. Elizabeth Bishop’s GEOGRAPHY III. Clarice Lispector’s THE HOUR OF THE STAR. Vanessa Springora’s CONSENT. Toni Morrison’s BELOVED. I recently finished reading WOMEN IN THE PICTURE: WOMEN, ART, AND THE POWER OF LOOKING by Catherine McCormack. I’m currently reading Lillian Fishman’s novel ACTS OF SERVICE.
