About the Folio
The greatest lesson that I learned from my work as a teacher and writer is that literature is incomplete. It’s full of holes, and those holes require us to fill them. We don’t need to have the secrets of a story elucidated by some tweed-jacket professor. We must discover and plumb our own depths, seeing how our understanding of the world and our experiences contribute to these stories. I’ve chosen books that offer a profound opportunity for self-reflection, stories to help you realize that you are essential to the work.Book selections
