I knew going back to the movie theater would be great, but this homecoming really couldn’t have been better. #movienight #letsallgotothemovies #intheheights #linmanuelmiranda #musicaltheater (at Block Thirty Seven) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP9xaZDjDYS/?utm_medium=tumblr

Views of the city today. Our intent this afternoon was to catch the Monet exhibit @artinstitutechi Forgot the institute is still closed on Wednesdays. So I lived the Monet exhibit and watched the colors change @coastchicagoapts . I’ve listened to @flavor.boyd for a long time, as Isosceles Kramer and @floatieheadquarters and I may have witnessed the level of appreciation Will would love best. A man in a building, blocks away, hearing his music on the spring breeze, calling his wife out onto their balcony and then leaving their balcony door open as they made dinner. #citylife #floatie #willwisniewski #isosceleskramer (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPW7A8jjuEn/?utm_medium=tumblr

Someone really should have told me that the great Tomi Ungerer’s final book was a Kafka-esque, post-apocalyptic nightmare. I would have bought a copy much, much sooner. @phaidonsnaps #phaidon #tomiungerer #picturebooks #kafka #brunoschulz #lynchian https://www.instagram.com/p/CMkP1n4D2HS/?igshid=i0mz867m9csp

The only thing wrong with this book is that I now want a George Saunders commentary after every short story I read. I can’t recommend this more highly for all writers and readers of short fiction! #georgesaunders #fiction #shortstories @randomhouse (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLz91PhDd8R/?igshid=1e5slm6sqc5we
