I read Americanah too late to really read it; so much of what it’s doing has already been chewed over in subsequent discourse/fiction about race and immigration. The surprise isn’t in the ideas anymore but in how precisely Adichie shows a man and a w ...more

Wild for Austen by Devoney Looser

The uncanny valley between popular and academic writing that really irritated me. There was a lot of things I didn’t really need to know. While well researched and perfectly friendly, it just felt like a grind from start to finish.

“Men deft men mental men of loving men all men
Vile men virtuous men same men from which men
Sweet and men of mercy men such making men said
Has each man that sees it
Cry as men to the men sensate
Conceptual recognition the men
And their poverty speaking to the men
Is about timeliness men is about
Previous palpability from which
The problematic politics adorable
And humble especially
Young men of sheepish privilege becoming
Sweet new style”
