Free #OnlineEvent sponsored by #LibraryOfAmerica:

The Revolutionary Writings of #BlackAmericans with James G. Basker and Annette Gordon-Reed.

The story told and retold about America’s founding often excludes the Black communities that existed during the Revolution and the early republic. Black Writers of the Founding Era, a new volume from Library of America, changes that.

WHAT? Library of America has a boxed set of Women Crime Writers from the '40s and '50s?

'Course, I may have to pull a heist to afford it.

Fall 2023 is a particularly good season for the Library of America: Faulkner's short stories, Adrienne Kennedy's plays, 2 more volumes of crime novels, an anthology titled "Black Writers of the Founding Era", and perhaps most exciting for me: JOANNA RUSS novels and stories.

I'm so excited about this news from Library of America:

"For Fall 2023, we’re thrilled to announce JOANNA RUSS: NOVELS & STORIES, collecting the multidimensional works of a speculative fiction luminary. The volume restores her complete Alyx stories to print, and includes her 1975 classic, The Female Man."
