Tell Me Another Morning: An Autobiographical Novel by Zdena Berger
5.0
The first thing I ever wrote and published was a review of this book that I found browsing in my local public library when I was about 13. I would hang out there, explore, and for a little while feel like who I really was. There was a newsletter booklet on the librarian's desk and it said they'd publish reviews, so I wrote one. Although I read Tell Me Another Morning 53 years ago, I still remember it. It was a story about surviving by listening to stories.
I'm posting this review now to make a statement: Libraries are important and I am appalled that the government of the country that people run to, the "land of the free," would defund them. Libraries are part of our national infrastructure. They allow people who have nothing to have access to everything. They allow those who are interested to learn the horrors of not resisting when humans act inhumanly (Yes, Sean Spicer, Hitler really did use chemical weapons on his people).
I am 66 years old, and I still remember the lessons of this book: You can survive through stories. You just need access to the right ones.
