In September of 2025 my wife and I booked a tour of Santa Fe. It was a food tour but the incredibly knowledgeable guide threw in a lot of history. At the end of the tour, speaking just to me and my wife, he said you must read Death comes to the archbishop. It's on my reading list. At this moment I am reading The Endurance Artist about the eccentric Lazarus Lake and his creation of many challenging, to say the least, races like the Barkley marathon.
Ha! I have that quote underlined in my very old copy of Death Comes for the Archbishop! There's so much I underlined and dogeared in it (it's my copy from college). I need to re-read.
Your enjoyment of Willa Cather makes me think you’d like Mary Austin. She’s fascinating and a great writer. Like Cather, the landscape served as a character. Start with Cactus Thorn.
I’ve been meaning to read Willa Cather for ages… mostly because she was the Final Jeopardy answer during my game. I didn’t get it… 😭

Thanks for the Japanese seasons calender!
Waiting for your book’s delivery from Amazon any day now. It will go on the my reading chair as soon as it arrives!
I am so excited to read your new book that just arrived!
I think Willa Cather was truly the mother of 20th century writing.

Can't wait for my copy of your new book!
Looking forward to receiving my pre-order! Currently reading Keep Going 🤘
The NYT would have you think microseasons are about the weather and what's blooming. I think you know that's just the beginning of a much deeper idea.
Best of luck with the Book launch--maybe try to enjoy it in small 5-day long slices of time ;-)
I am very excited about your latest book’s arrival very soon!!! Thank you!!
Hi Austin
Hope you can hear me cheering for you and every success for the latest book from here in the Canadian Rockies!
Congratulations!
Sooooo I started digging out my old diaries and found yep—this is just my fallow time?!
It's spooky, whenever I'm having a rough time, how often if I look back in another diary, the static lines up
I’ve always found May/June a rough go mentally for some reason. The “flow” just ain’t happenin’
May is rough! We call it Maycember around here.
