My latest side project, due out in March. This is work I picked up with a terrific British publisher. I have a lot of thoughts on this that I’m not ready to dive into today. But we are witnessing an unprecedented battle for history in this country, with the current Republican Administration moving relentlessly to scrub the history books “clean.” History is written by the victors and on that note we must be vigilant and tireless. I recently visited the site of the Tulsa Massacre and met many local teachers who commented that they had never learned about it in school. One teacher told me that her grandfather referred to it as “the riots.” Local history! Now my little book here is a minor thing — I was serving a publisher and an established line of books — but I made a thousand micro-decisions and I strived to be on the side of Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion.
