It was around 21 years ago I sat on this Maine beach and read this book above, and decided to write Funny Ladies: The New Yorker’s Women Cartoonists, published in 2005.
Enjoying this - and adding to my books to get list (2 so far since last night).. I recognize those notes- I’ve got a few books that look just like your husbands..
pondering what to recommend- nothing as highbrow (well maybe some karen Armstrong and one of my translations of a Tibetan text)
Different from yours, but just as inspiring to me is Robin Wall Kimmerer's "Braiding Sweetgrass"...It's a story I learn so much from in a genre I love. I cannot wait to see your documentary--I know it will be powerful.
Ms. Donnelly, I’m grateful to whomever it was that during the DNC convention referenced your drawings in real time, and I took a look. Then I subscribed, and then took the next step to subscribe to support your work… Truly an honor. Your posts are such a bright light every time they show up, fare balanced with servings of levity aside some of the serious stuff of these times. I’m grateful for the connection and sometimes don’t click right away when I see your name in the inbox, because I know it will be a treat to be saved. so I’ll handle a bit more business before coming back for the treat. Probably sounds more like a kitty or a pup, but just want to reinforce what a treat it is to subscribe. Thank you for all you do. The photo of the coast of Maine of course brings to mind HCR and Buddy, the photos she shares often taken by him in the wee hours as he heads out for a day of fishing. Thank you for the book references, and along with your many other fans, we look forward with joyful anticipation to your documentary.
I see several edits in need of attention, but the edit function often isn’t available till a bit of time has passed… So please forgive my little blunders.
no genius here, but I think I will buy and reae that book. I love the way you think, and was looking for my next book. Currently reading a great book (Frozen in Time, by Michael Zukoff) I would recconmeg it to anyone. great talking to you, Larry
Poetry collections edited by Alice Quinn. Any author edited by Judith Jones and anything Judith Jones wrote. MFK Fisher. John McPhee and more. Thanks for your cartoons, books, and eagerly anticipated documentary!
I hope you ate at Primo Rockland while you were/are in Maine!

No need to apologize for that! I am a terrible editor of my work, make mistakes all the time.
Thank you so much, Katherine. It's comments like yours that keep me going, and help me feel like I'm doing something for some folks. I am grateful.
