Recently the anise-flavored spirit Absinthe has been seeping back into the mainstream.
A reminder of the important questions raised by Norman #Podhoretz that shaped neo-conservativism - and their anticipation in the opposing views of Camus and Sartre: my 2004 @nyt column: nyti.ms/4qgn8da

‘Shakespeare: Then and There, Here and Now’ Review: Dismantling the Master bit.ly/4eq8k6Y via @WSJBooks
The goal should not be "de-colonizing" Shakespeare, but "de-colonizing" the de-colonizers. The @FolgerLibrary treats its patron saint as a figure tainted by white supremacy. I object. bit.ly/4eq8k6Y
