Another Sunday in which I participate in David Abrams’s “Sunday Sentence” project, which asks others to share the best sentence(s) we’ve read during the past week, “out of context and without commentary.”
No one ever says, “Hey, if you’re a full-time accountant having kids will prevent you from being a full-time accountant.”

(I’ll stick to the “without commentary” precept for the moment, but may have more to say about this series and the whole question of “balancing” writing with other commitments–family and beyond–another time. For now, I’m just grateful for the sage comments Bucknell offers in this interview. They’re oh-so-refreshing.)
Writing-related resources, news, and reflections to enjoy over the weekend.
Have a great weekend.
If you follow my other blog (My Machberet), you may have noticed a weekend post about the 75th anniversary of the pogrom known as “Kristallnacht” and ways in which the event has shown up in my own writing, particularly in some of the stories in my collection Quiet Americans.
But I’m far from the only one to have written about Kristallnacht in some way. This week also brought plenty of reminders of that fact.
How about you? Are there any literary works you’d recommend that address Kristallnacht?
