The Unmaking of June Farrow -- Books so Good I've Reread
Saturday, November 29, 2025
Did you read "Tuck Everlasting" by Natalie Babbitt in elementary school? Winnie runs into Jesse Tuck and his family, a family who have discovered the fountain of everlasting life. Drinking from this fountain means they never age or die. They invite Winnie into their circle and eventually, she has to make the decision if she, too, will drink the water. In an interview, Babbitt talks about the symbolism of the circle in the short story. If you could draw time, would it look like a circle, concentric circles, papers stacked on top of one another, a scarf of woven strings?
In Bonnie Garmus' interview with Wheeler Centre, she reflects on the 28% of women that make up STEM careers, noting the reason she made Elizabeth Zott, the main character of Lessons in Chemistry, a scientist is because "science knows better." Yes! Science knows that the brains of men and women have some differences, but none of them have anything to do with depth of thinking.
