• “Both of these films are invested in embodying the ‘unhinged’ discourse of the zeitgeist; del Toro and Fennell seem to think this can be accomplished by dispensing with the substance of the source material in favor of style. But no one did unhinged better than Mary Shelley or Emily Brontë, women who spent their lives immersed in tragedies which make their novels look tame by comparison.” (Literary Hub)

• Tracing Bernie Sanders’ Vermont days: “The sectarian battles are long over, remembered mainly by scholars, but the core socialist idea remains: whatever benefits the state can provide for anyone must be available to all—in a word, fairness. I don’t know if Bernie sees it roughly this way. He has no theoretical impulse, writes no guides for the perplexed, is the founder of no school of economic thinking. But there is one unexpected way to overhear him thinking about socialism: by watching a filmstrip he made for schools in the mid-1970s.” (New York Review of Books)
