A Brief Return to the Year of the Tesseract so as to Share a Review With You

The Madeleine L'Engle fangroup on FB and Twitter just shared this lovely review and defense of A Wrinkle In Time as a Frequently Challenged and/or Banned Book. It's made me nostalgic for the Year of the Tesseract. But there's no time limit on analyzing great books, now, is there? I don't know about you, but now I want to go back and reread all my posts in my Year of the Tesseract series JUST BECAUSE.

I'm not being weirdly self-promoting, here. I'm just genuinely THIS IS SO FUN -ing.

I liked them OK, but not enough to reread them as much as I did so much else. I don't know... this one is terribly sexist, but the language is really beautiful and I'm sure it's getting to good points about the importance of balance and humility. I know she wrote one with a female lead much later that I never read. I am curious to go far enough with the series to see how much she changed by that time.
