A wonderful new book...Levy, whose prose is at once declarative and concrete and touched with an almost oracular pithiness, has a gift for imbuing ordinary observations with the magic of metaphor...

The novel maintains a delicious comic buoyancy as it follows the antics of its Buster Keatonish protagonist, buffeting him with one obstacle after another only to have him land, each time, on his feet.

Alexandra Brodsky's (@azbrodsky) book "Sexual Justice" comes out next week, and I really think you should read it. I found it indispensable to my own thinking about the current state, and future, of sexual politics. Strangely, it gave me hope. https://t.co/JnKWt79Y0l

I had the true pleasure of talking with @artcrimeprof about her new book, "Smashing Statues," which is necessary reading for anyone interested in the sordid history and uncertain future of so many of America's monuments: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-new-yorker-interview/the-historian-scrutinizing-our-idea-of-monuments

yes David Mamet is without a doubt out of his mind and has been for quite a while, but he's also inconsistent. In "Oleanna" it's the female student who uses sexuality to trap and destroy the male professor. which is it Mr. M hmmm

Flock’s point is that there is a mythic quality to the anger of a wronged woman which crosses cultures, as does the thing that Flock considers to be its source: male domination...Instead of destroying a building, she created a book.
