All right, I have let go of the Patreon post.
This started as a reflection on Medellín's recent book festival, but it just kept getting deeper and deeper. Now it starts with Boccaccio? And explores a range of recent essays lamenting the decline of readers and book culture? And asks questions about the core role of literature in our deeply hurting world?
Well, it's free-to-read.
You be the judge of its value.
