Happy birthday, George Orwell, I think of you and your work every single day Here is the lecture I wrote for the great Brian Morton (@slcwritingmfa) on '1984', Zamyatin's 'We', and fighting the O'Brien within ourselves https://t.co/3QUr9QS82P

YES, in the 90s the exact same thing, but against 'political correctness' Robert Hughes wrote 'The Culture of Complaint' in 1993!! https://t.co/SUg5vh9fGc

@sullydish We'll have to agree to disagree there. I'll close with a recommendation of Jan Morris's 'Conundrum' (1974), please read it.

@Sheesh711 the most credible explanation I've seen along these lines was written by Ernest Becker in The Denial of Death (a fantastic book) but it's still really hard to fathom

'Platform Socialism' author @james_muldoon_ on the common ownership of platforms: They should be small enough in scale for each voice to count New MEDIAQUAKE with @keharloe https://t.co/tzCTeFPAfc https://t.co/9HhsSC09hW

To say nothing of 'The Last Western,' which I also learned about on this, the best ever book listserv. (I persuaded so many people to read it, incl. @david_j_roth! https://t.co/ZuiSlwMz7R) Been on wallace-l for 20 years this year, unbelievably, r.i.p. maître. https://t.co/uoR81CtZlA

George Saunders is extremely fun to talk to, in this case about truth, politics, writing, self, fame, and his terrifying new story 'Liberation Day' https://t.co/PDsKVAM2vq https://t.co/Sqi1ainw7S
