In it the Deist candidly rejected immortality and questioned belief in God. In his memoirs, he wrote: "I found, in 1733, a young woman who thought as I did, and decided to spend several years in the country, cultivating her mind." He dedicated Traite de metaphysique to her. He met the 27 year old married mother when he was 39. ![]() Voltaire wrote: "The interest I have in believing a thing is not a proof of the existence of that thing."

Upon a second imprisonment, in which Francois adopted the pen name Voltaire, he was released after agreeing to move to London. He launched a lifelong, successful playwriting career in 1718, interrupted by imprisonment in the Bastille. Jesuit-educated, he began writing clever verses by the age of 12.

Yet having recently listened to her Lady Astronaut books, I can’t help but compare the voices. Performance: I really like Kowal as a narrator. Even if many use gin, which is not my drink at all. The book coming out during “Old Fashioned” week, seems very appropriate. The use of trauma, a service animal, therapy, really show a deep care and connection to the subject matters. Yet I can already foresee some people objecting to “Pronouns everywhere!” and the plethora of LGBTQ+ couples in the story. Though I think the story is set 200 odd years into the future, so maybe not future enough. I can see it as Kowal looking at current US cultural trends and projecting them forward. ![]() ![]() ![]() Plus a few minor ones added into the mix.
