Jonathan Swift was an English satirist. His most famous work, "Gulliver's Travels," is a travel narrative/explorer's tale that, ironically, is meant to mock its own genre. Swift was part of a writer's group that set out to satirize popular literary genres and, as legend goes, Swift was assigned "The Traveller's Tale" trope to poke fun at.

The descriptions and adventures in "Gulliver's Travels" are intentionally over-the-top and outrageous. In the section from this quote, Gulliver has been shipwrecked on the island of Lilliput and captured by a tiny race of humans only 6 inches tall!

Despite the fact that the descriptions in "Gulliver's Travels" are intended to be ridiculous, some of them do land pretty close to home. Such as the above quote. It is not only a modern phenomenon for Western people to be too attached to our schedules and clocks. Swift accurately pegged that even back in the 18th century!

My husband’s debut novel comes out to the world

My husband’s debut novel comes out to the world on Monday. I have watched over his shoulder as these characters changed and grew over the last several years. And now, in just a couple days, they will “come to life” and you will get to meet them too. Hard to believe. I am so proud of @john_enger and the brave work he has done. ❤️❤️❤️ @enger_grove

Thank you, Ms. Wharton, for this delightful, still-relevant quote!

Edith Wharton was a wealthy woman who loved travel, though her work often mocks the aristocracy. Her maiden name was Jones and--rumor has it--the saying "keeping up with the Joneses" is thought to have been about her father's family. Wharton herself, in addition to being a writer, was an interior designer and was considered a taste-maker in her day.

A few interesting facts:

👉🏻As a divorced woman, Wharton was the victim of much personal criticism.

👉🏻When WWI broke out, she moved from the U.S. to her Paris apartment and volunteered for the war effort in many ways, including setting up refugee shelters.

👉🏻She was the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize in literature (in 1921).

👉🏻She received an honorary doctorate from Yale.

👉🏻She is included in the National Women's Hall of Fame.

My children have the exact same smirk. And it is a very dangerous expression. 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

Continuing the Mother's Day weekend, my most personal podcast interview yet! Yes, there's book marketing advice in here, but it's also about parenting. And identity. And the mental load. And self-care.

This one is a good listen for more than just authors--it's for any parents, especially of little ones, who just need to feel seen today.

Full interview wherever you get your podcasts. Or at the link in my bio.

Thank you, @kelliheil of @momswhocreatepodcast !
