Jim Hanas (@loureedsnephew ) did a data dive on literary @substack and discovered my superpower: connection. People to people, art to people, food to people (unfortunately not matchmaking).
As a memoirist excavating my life, I needed a solid pier to anchor the boat. To write incisively about events that happened forty to fifty years ago, finding music to evoke those times was key.
Featured today on Large Hearted Boy, my annotated playlist for Bitter, Sweet: How to Heal Yourself When Your Family Is Broken. 29 songs that follow and expand upon the events of the book.
Does music instantly take you back in time like it does for me?
