Still dealing with pre-election tension. But some bullying ads ("everyone will know whether you voted!") have us thinking, is it true what they say, that the Democratic party has become too feminized? And the Ta-Nehisi Coates media tour prompts us to ask, is it possible to have a great run in interviews and TV and still have written a not very good book? Or do we have to support bad books forever just because they have good politics. (See also: Han Kang Nobel discourse.)
