In this installment, author Bongani Kona explains his love of reading and the challenges it represents during a global pandemic. Given the distraction and anxiety that it brings, he recommends a reading list whose beautiful themes provide the healing and uplift that the world currently craves. “I’m too much on edge nowadays to read as much as I did before but the following are books I find myself returning to, in search of beauty, prescience, and instruction on how to live with loss.”
