Today’s Reading List

Mothers, cities and safety, artistry and violence, from Hazlitt, Lenny Letter, and Literary Hub.

Today’s Reading List is a daily round-up of stories that are inspiring us today from around the web.

All of the stories included are female-driven narratives, including but not limited to, relationships with mothers, security while walking throughout a city, and artistry in the  midst of a violent world.

We hope that you enjoy these stories as much as we have.

1. Over at Literary Hub, novelist and professor Maaza Mengiste on Chinua Achebe, art, language, and a violent world:

2. Laura Maw of Hazlitt details men’s predatory ways in the city, psychogeography, and being a woman:

3. Catapult contributor Esmé Weijun Wang  on her mother’s fashion. (By the way, her debut novel, The Border of Paradise, is out now!)
