Thanks for another great author but my list is getting too long. I don’t have much time left, l m 87.
One of my pet peeves, is calling us mankind instead of humankind. Please talk about my yrs ago priest Charles Coughlyn from Royal Oak. Mi. He and some others were very antisemitic in the 1930’s.
We either learn to accept each other or continue to slaughter and destroy. Whew, glad I got that off my chest.
Humankind. Humanity. Humanism. "Mankind" probably should go the way of "stewardess", "waitress" - and "actress".
Father Coughlin was an early advocate for the working class. He railed against an unregulated capitalism. And then...he began his antisemitic diatribes. His legacy was tainted with that. His early efforts at finding "social justice" were laudable. But people now just remember his bigotry.

May you get to read a very long list of books!
Thumbs up for Dennis Lehane. I read Small Mercies within the past month. He is a fine novelist.
