I don't know thing the first about Mary Lawson's work, BUT, --I would not buy a novel entitled A Town Called Solace. if the publisher thinks that appeals in a nice sentimental way, then they've lost me. Until the Booker judges tell me it might be OK. #BookerPrize2021

Chronicles: Volume One

Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan in “Chronicles”: “Crosby was a colorful and unpredictable character, wore a Mandrake the Magician cape, didn’t get along with too many people and had a beautiful voice — an architect of harmony (He) could freak out a whole city block by himself, but I liked him a lot.”

Before the Storm: Barry Goldwater and the Unmaking of the American Consensus

Rick Perlstein
MarkKohutMarkKohut

In the popular media, as Rick Perlstein documents so smartly and fully in his histories, Before the Storm and Nixonland, the trigger word was "Communism", of course, Marxism translated into fearful godlessness and loss of freedom. https://t.co/aA0SLv283z
