My review of Richard Flanagan’s ‘The Living Sea of Waking Dreams’ for @nytimesbooks. Magical realism and climate outrage aside, it’s a sharp critique of what Australia hates to talk about: class and how wealth changes nations and families https://t.co/fJbcJ3hESo

Thanks! And yes, hard things hurt, but later offer rewards. And for my American friends, "Into the Rip" will be out soon in the US, updated and retitled: "Parenting Like an Australian: One Family's Quest to Fight Fear and Dive into a Better, Braver Life." https://t.co/2Rwv93hXXG

Reading @Yascha_Mounk “The Great Experiment” about the challenge of diverse democracies when I saw the news about the white supremacist shooter in Buffalo. Heartbreaking.

I reviewed this book in 2015 (“it was hard not to marvel at the book’s potency,” I wrote) but I can hardly believe it’s now being banned. Here’s the author explaining what’s going on. https://t.co/isN6GrPY7O
