I just finished a book called Supper Club about a woman who gathers other woman to create a supper club where they break into or host in random places a supper created from food found in dumpsters and made into dishes and then feast like animals. The book hits on how woman have to display themselves in public in a certain way and how liberating it is to be free in these atmospheres with other woman. Very good
Thank you for the read. The dinner party here feels like a metaphor for your writing. The essay behaves like one, spacious, cross-generational, slightly ritualistic.
If the table is the structure, what forms of attention would you want to gather around it?

Sustained and reciprocal, nurturing and imaginative attention I should hope!
