I have had so many conversations like the one you had with that executive. It actually inspired me to write an entire piece about it (looking to publish that on this platform soon). Fiction is so vital to our moral imagination. There's a reason why there's a class at Harvard Business School that uses fiction (like Remains of the Day) to teach leadership.

Love this list. I read A Moveable Feast a few years ago and totally dug it. I can't imagine reading it in Paris. I have been wanting to read H is for Hawk for years now, so this was a great reminder. Also, what did you think of Peace Like a River?

Can't wait to read it!

And I'm a big fan of Peace Like a River. I think this was maybe my 3rd reading? Din has half a mind to try to adapt it to the screen, so I was reading it again to refresh my memory for that convo. TBD on whether that's possible!
