In this year-end installment, we’re taking a look back at what we read in our downtime while we were working on reporting the news.
We’ve made it to the end of 2022. This year felt long, although not as lengthy as the last two. And despite the currently cold and dreary weather in our part of the world, this season feels particularly optimistic. This year, I started the Read-In because I wanted to create a place for deeper reading into current events.
This series began with the importance of bearing witness, which goes beyond passively watching. We read about the climate crisis, including the floods in Eastern Kentucky and the unbearably hot summer across the U.S. We perused Lou Sullivan’s diary during pride month and Doug Most’s historical retelling of New York and Boston’s railway system rivalry during the shutdown of the Orange line. We even read classic Persian poetry by women dating back to the 10th century.
Rather than a list highlighting the best releases of the last 12 months, members from WBUR’s newsroom chose books published at any time that have lingered in their minds. The education desk’s Suevon Lee chose work from Jhumpa Lahiri, an author who helped her settle into her new city. Meagan McGinnes from our newsletter team selected a book that’s helped her recognize small moments of joy in the colder months and newsroom fellow Aimee Moon read a collection of stories that reflects on loneliness.
