Writing in an Age of Silence
By Sara Paretsky
Verso, 138 pages, $22.95
“When I enter a library, when I enter a world of books, I feel the ghosts of the past on my shoulders, urging me to courage,” Sara Paretsky writes in this powerful memoir. Her sentiments will assume a special power this weekend when she appears at the Harold Washington Library, as part of the Printers Row Book Fair. Whether one is present at that session, ambling about the used-book stalls at the fair, watching the events on C-SPAN, or merely engaging with an idea in a book read as a child, Paretsky’s reflection is a reminder of one reason we read.
