We asked six faculty what they re looking forward to digging into over the next few months. Jeff Bussgang wo of my books during the “summer of COVID” have been a deep case study into perhaps history’s greatest leader in crisis The Splendid and the Vile A Saga of Churchill Family and Defiance During the Blitz by Erik Larson as well as Ryan Holiday’s instant classic The Obstacle is the Way.
I have also been ramping up my anti racist readings devouring White Fragility Why It s So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism by Robin DiAngelo and Ibram Kendi’s How to Be An Anti Racist. I’ve been keen to re read The Autobiography of Malcolm X by Alex Haley and Malcom X but can’t seem to find my copy as I think I lent it to my son just before he left for his gap year. Laura Huang I like to switch up what I’m Hungary Phone Number reading—so I often alternate between fiction and non fiction different time periods and settings and books that I’m reading for the first time read versus books that I’ve re read dozens of times. I feel like this helps me think in broader strokes with more perspective and helps stimulate ideas and connections that I wouldn’t have otherwise encountered.
Three books on the meaning of dignity and loss and sacrifice that I return to often are When the Legends Die about a Native American Boy Caught Between Two Worlds by Hal Borland Girl in Translation by Jean Kwok and Inside Out Back Again by Thanhha Lai. Each is so beautifully written and makes me think about how we are often caught between worlds and identities—and the ways we must choose to reconcile our past with our present. The Rape Of Nanking The Forgotten Holocaust Of World War II by Iris Chang is such a poignant book about the lesser known perhaps Holocaust of World War II and helps me understand more about my own history and ancestry.
