JOYCE, THE MILLMAN BLOG

First heard about this on Media Matters podcast, which featured Project Censored last week: ...But look at it we must, for in its own way it illustrates the problem faced by our returning war veterans writ large—a point emphasized by the fact that the hand itself is disembodied; it could belong to Ostrom (as it does) but it could belong to any of the thousands of returning veterans (or for that matter to those who might be inducted to fight in future wars): Bred to kill and marked by death, our warriors are assimilated into a … [Read more...]

When moments like this hit, when it's hard to distinguish acting from writing, the effects can dazzle (even if Clive James dismisses).

(Smith also wrote an obscure yet memorable book, Out of … [Read more...]
