This is a stellar essay by @aoscott making the case for Martin Amis' greatness, locating him very precisely as a generational, transatlantic writer. (I say this as an Amis skeptic). It's a real jolt to see criticism of this quality written on deadline.

Good thread best read in conjunction with Savage's very astute analysis of the Durham report here:

Good thread. Very on point.

I just bought this book and it's truly amazing, a generation spanning graphic novel about the film world and immigration. If you're near Brooklyn, recommend this event and book.

The best newsletter out there.

Highly recommend if you are in Toronto. Marshall's book on the Sistine Chapel is fascinating.

Some great bargains here. Already bought a copy of Jameson's great book on Wyndham Lewis & Mike Davis' Old Gods, New Enigmas

A really terrific episode. The DeSantis stuff is timely but the larger points about social issues (visibility without representation/power is a trap) makes this a keeper.
