Chapter & Verse

Can a literary recounting of warstop the wholesale murder?

Consider the burning of books and Edmund de Waal’s The Hare With Amber Eyes

Come across violent things in writing

Let go of some beloved books

Consider how people arrange their shelves

Find looking books – rather than reading books – to love
