In the unlikely event you're searching for something to read, here's an essay about how my grandfather came to the US around the time that your grandparents did. He became the chauffeur for a family of millionaires in Montclair, where he met the children's Nanny, a recent arrival from County Roscommon. That's how my father's parents met.
I have now read your wonderful essay. There is much to ponder there. I will have more to say at some point, possibly soon.
Look forward to hearing it!

My most recent essay starts like this: "Today I have nothing to say about the things most on my jumbled, worried mind. But I’ve been meaning to write another post about literary theory for more than a year now. So fuck it. Today I’m going to write about literary theory." https://open.substack.com/pub/johnsundman/p/the-relaxation-of-a-fabricated-constraint?r=38b5x&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false
will read!
Thanks. I'll read this tonight.
