The Bombing

The site of the 1945 bombing that killed my grandmother.

Helllo friends of The Man Who Calculated Death!

If you've listened to the podcast, you know it's a deeply felt, deeply investigated piece of my family ancestry and as I work on the second half of the story, I continue to process the first half. And I wondered: what would happen if I just wrote off-the-cuff chapter-ettes that explored it in more detail, as only long form writing can. So I started a Substack. I write fast and from the heart, letting the story take me wherever it wants. Some of it you'll recognize, other bits will take you into new territory. Please join me over there, and LMK what you think. Here's the link to Chapter One: The Bombing. I start with my mom's most traumatic childhood moment.
