Anne Tyler: "It would be very foolish for me to write, let’s say, a novel from the viewpoint of a black man, but I think I should be allowed to do it." What a world, where such an accomplished and respected author feels so intimidated. https://t.co/4wUfG7TqJs

Amit loves listening to audiobooks narrated by the author. Me too. The best one I read this year in that format was The Color Purple read by the author Alice Walker. She's got a sweet voice, and it's a sweet story at one level. https://ol.amitgawande.com/2021/10/26/104336.html?title=audiobooksAndEbooks

Thirty-one years ago, Tom Wolfe coined the term “Masters of the Universe” in The Bonfire of the Vanities to describe Wall Street types–specifically white male investment bankers and trader. https://t.co/E0nhqF30Yw

@arimelber -- you should have @ElieNYC as a special guest to do a rendition on his chapter in this latest book about abortion. His book is a master class, the chapter on abortion is the best explanation of the issues I've heard. Opened my eyes and mind.

After reading the Autobiography of Malcolm X, I see where the people giving me shit at @rosental's conference in 2019 were coming from. But I wasn't bragging I was trying to get them to work with me, to make journalism work in the new context.

Heather Cox Richardson's How The South Won The Civil War is another eye-opener. https://www.amazon.com/How-South-Won-Civil-War/dp/0190900903 If you read it you will no longer be puzzled about why American politics still works the way it does. It hasn't changed as much as you think.
