I recently moved to Hillsborough (from Colorado!) and am delighted to stumble upon a mention of local events here on Substack…I hadn’t even heard of the Eno House Artists’ Den! I just signed up for your newsletter to discover more local happenings and am looking forward to learning more about my new home, so thank you!
I loved Reading with Patrick. It was recommended to me by a former colleague of mine from the first job I ever had in NYC. It turns out she went to high school with the author. I was captivated by the honesty of the narrator and her "coming of age" arc of her story as she slowly individuates from her family and upbringing. I also did enjoy that it was truly a love letter to reading and to education.
I bought James on Independent Bookstore Day. I haven't had the chance to dive in yet, but I can't wait. His book Erasure is a favorite of mine from my grad school days.
It WAS you! I had it way in the back of my mind that you were the person who mentioned Reading With Patrick, which I put on my For Later list where it sat for probably 4 years, till I saw it at the book sale. I don't know what exactly this says about me/my organizational system, but thank you for the stellar recommendation!
I want to read Erasure and, like, everything else Everett. Will be curious to hear your thoughts on James!

Welcome to the neighborhood! There's a storytelling show in Carrboro Thursday night if you have no better offer :)
