"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."
-George Orwell, 1984
Thank you to local author @hitchface for stopping by to sign copies of THE HITCH, a seductively outlandish novel following a woman as she attempts to exercise the spirit of a dead corgi from her nephew and renegotiate the borders of her previously rational world.
...I kept asking myself how a book about illness could be so pleasurable to read—the answer is that it was written with a profoundly humane and relentless curiosity, belief that no amount of suffering precludes beauty.
—Melissa Febos
Jonathan Gleason stopped by the shop to sign FIELD GUIDE TO FALLING ILL, the inaugural winner of the Yale Nonfiction Book Prize, a riveting exploration of illness and medicine that imagines a more humane form of care!

We are joining the chorus of voices of Americans today demanding that federal agents who have murdered our fellow citizens be brought to justice, an immediate end to the occupation of our cities by federal agents sewing chaos, violence, and fear, and the immediate ABOLITION of ICE.
We’re open today for all in need of a warm, peaceful place to find community. We will be donating 20% of sales to the Women’s Foundation of Minnesota’s Immigrant Rapid Response Fund. You can find a link to donate in our bio, as well as resources from Minneapolis with other ways to support.
Today we’re standing in solidarity with the people of Minnesota, with all participating in the National ICE Out movement, and with all who are expressing their rage and disappointment at the administration’s cruel and unjust occupation.
"Is that what art is? To be touched thinking what we feel is ours when, in the end, it was someone else, in longing, who finds us?"
