Thanks for recommending *The Hearing Trumpet*. It was a wild ride. Although I knew a smidgen about Surrealist art, I hadn’t been aware of Leonora Carrington heretofore.
Yay!! I’m so so glad you read it!! It’s one of my favorite books — where else are you going to get a nonagenarian protagonist solving the mystery of the holy grail???
Oh this is so good. I love your emphasis on imagination as a way to be in this moment, especially because anxiety often narrows our minds rather than expanding them. (In fact, I loved it so much that I stole your Breton and hooks quotes for a mindfulness talk on possibility yesterday.)
Really, really liked this one. I've been thinking a lot about imagination as a way to move beyond this particular moment, but I hadn't made the connection to surrealism. Thanks for opening my eyes! P.S. The commentary about the Spotify algorithm is the single most salient thing I've read this year. It drives me up the wall.
