Now Reading: On Consolation

Today’s reading: On Consolation: Finding Solace in Dark Times by Michael Ignatieff – a welcome salve for the soul. I’ve been particularly drawn to the chapters on Job and on Marcus Aurelius. The book was inspired by the 2017 event in Utrecht in which four choirs would sing musical versions of all 150 Psalms. Three years later, during the early months of the pandemic, these performances were broadcast, one per day, to provide consolation. __
