Congrats on this new edition. I looked at some of the illustrations online and they’re indeed extraordinary . Beautiful and imaginative. I shall be getting a copy of this.
Had a thought. You talked about the two kinds of normal. The distinction seems to lie in where one places their locus of control. For those of us who've developed some semblance of principles, "normal" is a comparison with what "I" did yesterday, last week, last year using the guiderail of personal principle as the standard. Many do not have such a source of standards. For them, normal is assessed externally using society or their cohort as that standard. It gets dicey for them when normal changes gradually, as it has since Trump and they have no reliable means to recognize that change.
I've admired your work for some time Mr. Snyder, and deeply appreciate its relevance in times such as these that seem a call for help to voices such as yours. Thank you
