What Toni Morrison’s fiction taught @bridgettmdavis.bsky.social about writing memoir: “I’ve learned as a memoirist to construct worlds that careful excavation implies.”

My love letter to libraries. ❤️

I’m so excited about this new memoir! It’s my tribute to sisters. Fourth book, yet it feels like the first.

I’m so proud of this film I made back in the 90s! Its resurgence is both magical & timely. And now it’s available for all to see. Yay!

I just watched Naked Acts by Bridgett Davis (wife of @robfields.bsky.social ) and there’s a great early truthful scene where the protagonist arrives late for a rehearsal and blames the subway.

I really love what this Q&A revealed to me about myself.
