Samantha Mozart is a beautiful writer. The voice, the powers of description and observation, the heart, it’s all there.
Sometimes with these weekly pieces I feel it useful to add context and lay some groundwork to best help the author shine. Other times I know that I simply need to get out of the way and use my few sentences here to merely convey the simple message of ‘you have to read this’.
Today is one of those latter, get-out-of-the-way occasions. So I’ll do just that and leave you to soak up this weeks artistry.
Enjoy.
TJB.

This story is presented for the Soaring Twenties Social Club (STSC) Symposium. The STSC is a small, exclusive online speakeasy where a dauntless band of raconteurs, writers, artists, philosophers, flaneurs, musicians, idlers, and bohemians share ideas and companionship. Each month STSC members create something around a set theme. This cycle, the theme is “Connection.”
