The L.A. Times names THICK one of the best non-fiction books of the last 30 years.

I will be honest with you, even I cannot always believe that this is my life.

Thank you. Very much.

Reading your book made me feel like Dorothy stepping from black and white Kansas into Technicolor Oz. I’ve never seen the world the same way after that. I’m clearly not alone. You did something big with that book, ma’am!

We do a sacred text activity as a community building exercise, and I often read the last three paragraphs of “In the Name of Beauty.” Sometimes I get through it in one piece. Usually I don’t.

triplingual.bsky.social•40 days ago

I still can't believe you write for us!

(For certain values of "us".)
