This is my favorite post of yours ever and that's a tough thing to say because I've loved so many of them. Aisling Bea and Sharon Horgan made a masterpiece with "This Way Up" and you made a masterpiece out of how to read The Odyssey, and grass -- touching that grass - all the things that I believe are true are in this essay.

Thank you for this piece! I also loved "This Way Up" but then it had slipped off my radar. Can't wait to watch the YouTube discussion, thank you for sharing it. Now I need to look for an Austen connection to Aisling Bea, lol.

If only I had you as an English teacher! Your take on The Odyssey would have been inspiring and illuminating - instead of sleep-inducing in high school. It's a beautiful reminder. Thank you.
