Hamlet

W. Shakespeare
Douglas HerbertDouglas Herbert

This episode of @ThisAmerLife, about a production of Shakespeare’s #Hamlet performed by inmates in a high-security US #prison, is uplifting. Convicts are often reduced to crude stereotypes. This story celebrates human beings’ ability to better themselves. https://t.co/ogo87zynnJ

Another novel that is about to muscle aside others on my (overly ambitious) reading list. If this @guardian review is anything to go by, Anthony #Doerr’s latest work is another masterpiece. #books https://www.theguardian.com/books/2021/sep/26/cloud-cuckoo-land-by-anthony-doerr-review-all-human-life-is-here

Thomas Frank
Douglas HerbertDouglas Herbert

In his now-classic 2004 book, “What’s the Matter with #Kansas?”, American historian Thomas Frank painted a portrait of rightwing dysfunction in the once-proud progressive state. Tuesday’s big win for #AbortionRights in the state suggests some things are very right in Kansas. #F24
