Icy Uncertainty
from Annotated Hosted by Ashley
Uncertainty, isolation, and just a hint of magic are the highlights of The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey. Julia Rowe joins me in this episode to unpack magic realism and textual unreliability. She also shares her story of growing up as an avid reader with undiagnosed dyslexia. I'm grateful for the chance to explore the edges of things with Julia through this book.

The rather long chapter on "Reading and Thinking" clarifies several notions on where one needs to understand where mere knowledge acquisition ends and using reading the stimulate thinking begins.For an individual who was largely self taught, Hazlitt's contribution to the process of thinking is a must-read.
