Finished reading Eva Illouz - Cold Intimacies.

I left a review of the book on Bookwyrm: https://bookwyrm.social/user/catileptic/review/8869351/s/the-critique-aged-well-though-some-other-parts-did-not#anchor-8869351

One quote that really stuck with me, found towards the end of the book, is: "To love is to recognize libidinously and in someone else’s body our social past and our social aspirations."

It describes what I aim for, personally: to honor the connections, not just the individuals that I become close to, and subject to.

"The original #Jewish #BookWeek took root in #Boston thanks to Fanny Goldstein, the first female #Judaica #librarian—and the first woman to direct a #library branch in #Massachusetts (the Boston Public Library’s West End branch).

Now, there’s a new #kids’ picture #book about this #literary pioneer: “Fanny’s Big Idea: How #JewishBookWeek Was Born” comes out on Nov. 4 from Penguin Young #Readers. It’s getting plenty of positive advance buzz: “A timeless and timely tribute to the enduring power of literature and #libraries to build bridges,” says Kirkus Reviews."
