Some books need weeks or months to percolate inside you - I rarely read a review just after a book's release. Also all the hype or lack of it. 🧐 On the other hand, I used to religiously read #MichikoKakutani (1983 - 2017, reviewed books for The New York Times).
same for books really

@michikokakutani
Seems like a good time to re-up this Kissinger "merge our futures" piece. ("Our" = U.S. & Russia) <a href="http://nationalinterest.org/feature/kissingers-vision-us-russia-relations-15111?page=2" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-link="bsky">http://nationalinterest.org/feature/kissingers-vision-us-russia-relations-15111?page=2
Kissinger’s Vision for U.S.-Russia Relations
Russia should be perceived as an essential element of any new global equilibrium.

reading Hitler: Ascent by Volker Ullrich and that NYT review by @michikokakutani was right. Its brilliant and basically whats happening.

So @POTUS conversation with @michikokakutani on how books sustain & nourish him, is just...why he inspires. Now I'm mourning all over again.

#NoMoreNazis Please flood the NYT with "reader response" letters denouncing the "human interest" article that seemed to be accepting of people espousing violent views calling for mass murder. Please let @nytimes know you won't accept this as "normal" @michikokakutani Ever.

What I like about this; @michikokakutani and @rgay are defining cultural literacy, forthwith, rather than the people who used to be in charge.

One silver lining of this shitshow: more reading George Orwell.

Also recommend Politics & the English Language.
