Bearing Up, Bearing Down & Agent List XXIV
& November's Agent List (XXIV)
Hello fellow scribes and dear readers,
I assembled the majority of this post yesterday while the polls were still open in many states. It grew quieter and quieter in my neighborhood as more states began reporting election results and people’s disbelief in many quarters hovered like a cloud over the city. The occasional wail of a siren, a honking horn, the wind in the trees.
This morning we awoke to the outcome. I’m disappointed and very sad. I wish I could say I’m surprised, but that would not be true.
Sharing below a few words from Toni Morrison that my friend and fellow novelist Staci Greason sent to me early this morning (which is from a post by Maria Popova on IG):

Today’s Bookish post is November’s agent list. With a few early exceptions, these are the only posts with a paywall. Thank you for being here.
I am hopeful there will be good surprises (maybe even great ones) in the months ahead. ❤️
