✨ What a memorable evening! ✨

I had the privilege of joining  David L. Ulin, editor of the Library of America’s Joan Didion edition, for a memorable discussion of “A Place None of Us Know”: Writing, Loss, and Joan Didion’s Late Memoirs, wonderfully introduced by Max Rudin, president and publisher.

🌍 473 attendees tuned in from 44 states (plus DC!) and 11 countries, including Australia, France, Japan, and Iceland.

💡 The lively conversation sparked 72 thoughtful questions and comments.

Thank you to David, @libraryofamerica , and everyone who joined us to reflect on Didion’s legacy and the art of memoir. Your presence and engagement made this event truly special.

If you did not get there in person, the dialogue is available in full at loa.org and honormoore.com.

Look everyone at what my book did!

As I’ve traveled  with A Termination these past weeks, so many women - mothers and not - have spoken about what the decision to terminate a pregnancy meant in terms of their sense of themselves, their ability to make decisions on their own behalf.  It’s as if a door had opened.  

I’m so happy @pwpics has recognized this book.

“Honor Moore did not want to be a mother, she says in her breathtaking new book A TERMINATION. And I wanted to be a mother from the time I learned of motherhood. We are friends and we are feminists, Honor and I, across a generation and across choice and across motherhood. Come join our conversation tomorrow - about abortion, fear, the renewed threats to reproductive freedom, and about
“the woman at the typewriter.”
