Thank you Ray! I have been very taken by Ernaux, especially as most of her work is available in audible form on Hoopla that is available through the Oak Park public library. "Life of a Man" (sent to Lili) has a good write-up on how she developed her writing style and A Frozen Women (sent to Becca) is brilliant and insightful on the role of religion and traditional class culture in oppressing young women in France. Much Love, Dad.
Gender Queer: A Memoir: Kobabe, Maia. Told in "graphic novel" form this personal story is brave and beautiful. Plenty to ponder here, even for me, a white male cisgender geezer married since 1981. It's likely impossible to go wrong when you read "the most banned book in America" for any year you choose and this one is no exception.

Killers of the Flower Moon. Wanted to read it before seeing the upcoming movie. It’s historical but reads like a novel.
