Two of her best New York novels revolve around cafes:
in The Wicked Pavilion (1954) she calls it the Café Julien, and in The Golden Spur (1962), the book title is the name of the watering hole where all the characters intersect.

When I interviewed her in 1994 for Books in Canada, the published piece began: "I don't want this article to be about old age," Joyce Marshall told me in our first conversation, "or about a 'neglected' writer."

A riposte to the waxing moon, because I missed the beautiful crescent earlier this week.
A youthful goddess (Diana?) holding a crescent moon.

Almost every day I stumble upon a #Bluesky account I follow, whose posts haven't showed up in my "following" feed for days, weeks, or sometimes ever again since I first followed them. (That's why I may suddenly ♥️a whole slew of your posts.)
Can anyone tell me why? What am I doing wrong?

The CD cabinet of yesteryear, a vintage artifact.
Not really unloved, though largely unused nowadays. But I still remember how exciting it was to get access to all this music, a lot of it previously out of reach except on hard-to-find LPs. 🎶
