Uncommon light academia book recommendation: After Sappho by Selby Wynn Schwartz
Told through a series of interweaving vignettes, After Sappho tells the tale of real life feminists who were inspired by the poetry of Sappho
Long listed for the Booker Prize, this book is a piece of modern literature. Almost without plot, it ebbs and flows. Academia and arts, from dance and film to painting and furniture design, are celebrated, along with women who excelled at their crafts. After Sappho feels like an inspiration, as if it encourages the reader to pave their own way in the world, be that through literature or visual arts.
