Ukrainian author Yuri Andrukovych was given this year's Heine prize in Heinrich Heine's hometown, Dusseldorf. An occasion for Ukrainians in Germany to turn out. My prog, Heine: the First Modern European is on @BBCRadio3 in March. https://t.co/R20d8sQyWe

I think it may be time to re-read A Place of Greater Safety. It too is a masterpiece (don't look at the snippy reviews from the book's initial publication)

In real time watching Sterling sink against dollar and Ian strengthening towards CAtegory 5 hurricane Very exciting. I wonder if William Hill is running a double book on where both will finish the day?

Timothee Chalamet signed to play Bob Dylan? I'm calling bullshit on this grotesque example of cultural appropriation. Are ther no young Hebrews in the Hollywood film/music nexus to play the part? https://t.co/1q5ryixbWw

@GregGrandin @davidrieff Unless you are his shrink I think you are inferring a mental state to which you have no access from words written at a deeply emotional moment in our experience. "War is a force that gives us meaning" Packer didn't write it, Hedges did.

@davidrieff I look forward to you conflating Lillian Hellman's concept of Scoundrel Time with whoever it was's idea that history repeats itself, second time as farce
