Playing in the Dark: Whiteness and the Literary Imagination
Toni MorrisonJust read @chafkin's book on Thiel. Made me think of this line from Playing in the Dark by Toni Morrison. “feeling within himself a sense of authority autonomy he had no known before, a force that flowed from his absolute control over the lives of others.”

The Origins of Totalitarianism
Hannah ArendtIt's a good time to re read Hannah Arendt's The Origins of Totalitarianism. "Never has our future been more unpredictable, never have we depended so much on political forces that cannot be trusted to follow the rules of common sense and self-interest."

The Bluest Eye
Toni MorrisonI loved Judy Bloom as much as any other 10 year old in the 1970's. But she never won any Nobel prizes for literature. That she is banned is much less shocking than banning Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye. Why's she trending when Morrison didn't? https://www.today.com/parents/teens/missouri-school-district-bans-toni-morrisons-bluest-eye-rcna13967
