“I am saddened that my tongue cannot live up to my heart.”
“I found that, as a young author, I could identify my own ache to communicate with Augustine’s constant awareness of the hiatus between himself and the outside world.”
I read Brown’s biography a few years back. Glad this morning to learn the background of how it came to be written.
We visited MoPOP in late June, where they had posted the following statement about Rowling: "At MoPOP, we are in solidarity with the transgender, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming communities. While J.K. Rowling is a divisive and abusive creator, Harry Potter has influenced modern pop culture, and many actors involved in the franchise are vocal allies. This is why we chose to continue to display these artifacts. This is not an example of "separating art from artist" but of giving credit where it is due. We acknowledge that this discourse is difficult, if you want to read a personal statement from one of our transgender staff members regarding J.K. Rowling, please follow the QR link below." Chris Moore is listed as one of the authors of the statement.
So, silver lining, but I guess this announcement at least means there is no longer a statement posted calling Rowling abusive.
