On the one hand I literacy is in decline, our collective capacity for attention & critical thought has been grievously eroded, and all of us are getting stupider, easier to exploit, and less alert to beauty. On the other hand, pop culture is currently dominated by a war of competing classicists.

Oh very cool. I really enjoyed his book Essayism, especially the moments of personal narrative. A memoir should be excellent
