Gift article from my Washington Post account: “…a lot of science fiction novels are exploring a scary post-climate-change future. Meanwhile, the best recent fantasy books have abandoned George R.R.

“Mommy, why is that man crying?”

“That man is a . You can tell by the sandals. Try not to stare.”

I fell into a delightfully artsy rabbit hole this morning when a friend posted this painting by Jack Butler Yeats, brother of the poet and mystic W. B. Yeats (who famously kicked Aleister Crowley down a flight of stairs once). The name of the painting is “About to Write a Letter” (1935).
