In related news, I went looking for books about Joseph that are 1) not too expensive, 2) in English, 3) available in the US, in the interests of actually being able to read one in 2021, and I was able to purchase a short volume by Tim Blanning for $15 that's supposed to arrive Friday. So no promises, but you can see me making an effort. :) (Fic aside, reading something about Joseph has been on my to-do list for quite a while, and Blanning's the best I can do on short notice. At the very least, his Fritz bio was eminently readable, and remains the best of the Fritz bios I've read, despite errors.)
