Thank you, Silvia! I'm honoured that you've written this, and that my fiction speaks to you in this way. And thank you, Thaddeus - this is a great space you've created. I love the ethos: writers don't have to have a million subscribers, or be published or experienced to write or be written about. It's so encouraging for those of us just starting out.
"When I finish a story of hers, my impulse is not to keep scrolling, but to close the app and be present for my child, maybe take him exploring in the neighbourhood."
Fiction that has done that for me is quite rare. It's an interesting reason to recommend something ("I experienced a work of art that makes me want to 'be more present.'"

Wonderfully put, Thaddeus.
