2 months ago | quillette.com | Marilyn Simon |Aaron Sarin |Claire Lehmann

My husband sends me a photo of himself to show me his new glasses. In the corner of the shot, just behind him on our bed, I see the face of a woman smiling up at him. My heart stops momentarily. Iâm angry, Iâm afraid, but Iâm also a little bitânot excited, exactly, and definitely not thrilledâbut... roused, perhaps? Yes. Flushed? Certainly. Aroused? No. But then again, it is hard to say. The moment passes when I recognise the face on the bed as my own.

After many delays, Canada’s Memorial to the Victims of Communism was officially opened at Wellington and Bay Streets in the nation’s capital on 12 December 2024.

Jan 13, 2025 | quillette.com | Samuel Veissière |Claire Lehmann |Thomas Doherty |Greg Koabel

Within its limits, the writer is free, but a great misfortune will befall those who depart from it. [The dissenter] will face disgusts of all kinds and everyday forms of persecution.
