“It’s sort of eerie how unchanged some parts of my life are in the midst of a global pandemic”
What music do you turn to in times of crisis for solace and comfort, and why?
I think the first record I turned on, the morning after the kids’ school closed and it looked like we were going to be locked down for a while, was Van Morrison’s. It’s my ultimate comfort record. It feels grounding to hear it. It’s not that it’s super chipper or anything — it has its dour moments — but it’s such a sublime piece of art that it triggers something in me — some kind of hope maybe.
made it into the world just as everything shut down. It’s the third in her trilogy about Thomas Cromwell, Henry VIII’s beloved counselor, and it’s so good. It’s so immersive. I’m taking my sweet time reading it — I find myself lingering over sentences and paragraphs either because the writing is so lovely or my mind drifts to school closures and employment figures and infection rates — whichever reason, I’m glad I’m moving slow. It’s like 1,000 pages but I wish it was five times as long.
