My “Conversation” with Rebecca Solnit

February 23, 2025
I am channel surfing for hope these days. Last week, I dug out a book my wonderful longtime book editor, Stephanie Hitchcock, recommended years ago when we first started working together on my first book, The Person You Mean To Be. That book is Hope in the Dark, a compact little volume by Rebecca Solnit. I don’t know Solnit but I tried to imagine me awkwardly nudging her to say something, well, hopeful. With a little help from ChatGPT, here is scripted dialogue from a crossover episode featuring me and Solnit.
