When I am Frankfurt for the annual international book fair, this memorial always stops me in my tracks. It commemorates a massive book burning in 1933 by Nazis--over 25,000 books deemed "un-German." "That was just the beginning. Where one burns books, in the end, people are burnt as well."

ffs I just read a European job ad that explicitly requires TWO PUBLISHED MONOGRAPHS for an asst prof position. yes, yes, I knew it was like this but it's truly startling to see TWO required. it's official: unis have zero respect for books & the ppl who write & publish them. Nothing affirms it more.

Writing about Bringing Up Baby, I fell down a rabbit hole and read this! you should too. It shares great bon mots of a little known screenwriter, recorded by a frequent letter writer to NYT (she is much else too), featuring a valid complaint about Cavell, and a record of possible anti-communism...
